So double entry is defeated if you uses a computer to enter the entries. For example if you brought a laptop for 1000, but you accidently wrote 2000 AND the computer automatically entered 2000 in the asset account it would still balance even though it was a mistake to enter 2000.
In addition, you can still make the same mistake by hand for both entries. So I’m still not getting how double entries catch mistakes
