That may be true but I went for a third aligment and the shops computer displayed that the entire cars alignment was out of wack just two days after I had it done at the other place where they told me they had just done their recalibration.

For an example for the rear camber it displayed -1.1 at the left side and -2.6 to the right side. The toe up front was enormously unbalanced, the caster was so bad my steering wheel had a 20degree tilt when driving in a straight line.

I agree with you that computers are to be trusted vs the naked eye but only if the computer is running properly.
