Human error can be avoided.

It seems to make sense that data would be safer, but I fail to see how human error can be avoided. Your OS was crafted by humans, as is your browser. Integrate your browser tightly to the OS and data can be stolen easily, regardless of the size of your organization. Any time human interaction is involved there will be a security risk. I can't think of a scenario where security can be perfected.
