Hey Doug,
yes I am aware of its capability to be run in manual mode but the friend who made the statement was chasing digital DXCC on a few HF bands and had become obsessed by it... he has since calmed down a bit.
I think he was referring more to the impersonal aspect of the mode and the "wham bam thankyou mam" the contact is done.. at least on JT65 you had time to boil the kettle
