I'm not sure I would call you an old-fashioned purist. You sound more like a member in good standing of the Old Boys Network. Yeah, it's nice to know someone. Even nicer to know Someone. But your ability to obtain a desired outcome by virtue of your personal associations is a dubious measure of the quality of a legal system.

In the past, idiot phone systems would read you interminable preliminary messages (IPMs), before dumping you into an idiotically over-simplified decision tree, which might or might not ultimately connect you to a human being. But lately, and I mean <i>very</i> lately, these systems have started becoming more sophisticated, both in their ability to process voice inputs and in the complexity of their decision tree. I strongly suspect that AI is involved. I suggest we call these systems "phonedroids".<br /><br />I could see a certain advantage to this development, from my point of view, meaning the caller's point of view, in that the sophistication of the calling tree offers a tantalizing glimmer of hope. However, the fundamental problem is that IPM. When you realize, that the phonedroid is hopelessly confused, your best bet is to hang up and, basically, reboot the stupid fucking thing. Better luck next time. But you have to listen to the whole God-awful IPM all over again.
