> OCR all the business copy of receipts from the till,

I would not do this at all. OCR is still very bad. If you want incorrect dollar figures be my guest.

Sure, but I'm not suggesting it's good-good, I'm drawing a comparison with "a mediocre hand-made spreadsheet".

We live in a world where some genes had to be renamed because Excel evaluated their original names as dates, and genetics researchers used Excel anyway. Isn't there at least a reasonable risk of this happening with a random SKU, too?
