I agree if you mean that each of these kinds of feedback is "better" when
properly separated from the other. I don't know that one is necessarily
"better" than the other, but they convey different kinds of information and are
therefore more useful when not mixed together. I suspect that the user
feedback will be most useful for high-level heuristic filtering, while
automated feedback will permit certain kinds of more absolute filtering. We
need both (and more).
