That is a terrible test unless you only shoot flat objects that are parallel
to the film plane. I don't typically photograph such things. I usually shoot
3D object where the focal point is not typically the closest point to the camera.
I have not found AF to be as accurate as MF in this situation which is my
typical situation.
I have seen a lot of rebuttals of "MF is more accurate than AF". Each one ignored
the case which I claim AF will usually result in less than optimal focus, that
is photographing a 3D object where the focal point is not a point closest to
the camera. This
case is typically what I encounter in my photography. I really doubt I am a
rare exception.
