I agree: it catches entry errors, which is really handy in a system where you're hand-writing them twice.
But if you're writing a computer system that's simply duplicating one entry from a human in two places in data store, is that "double entry"? is it useful?
But the idea that you would want to reconcile one view with another independently reported one is super useful. (Almost every financial-oriented company builds a system like that, I would bet.)
