The first time we see something totally unknown to us, just like a normal human bookkeeper, we'll have to ask you about it (assuming there isn't metadata somewhere else that helps us categorize it).

But then once you've told us, unlike a normal human bookkeeper, we won't forget about it later — we'll actually encode a rule in our software that will enforce this check going forward.

(And yes, you also do benefit from "If our system has seen this type of transaction somewhere else, we can make a more intelligent guess")
