I don't know if anyone keeps statistics on this, but I observe that many users, new to digital equipment, fail to let the camera's automatic feature work, because they neglect to push the shutter button half way before taking the shot. The cameras need a moment to find something to focus on and to "read" the light reflected off of the subject, and make those adjustments.
Having said that, even those users who DO that with the shutter button, depend way too much on the camera's ability to take a good exposure in less than ideal conditions. They shoot back lit subjects while the critical part of the frame is aimed at the bright light, severely under exposing the main subject. Same can be said for the focus. The focusing portion of the sensor is aimed at a distant object, when the actual subject is something much closer.
People forget that they can aim in one direction while the camera takes it's readings and adjusts, then, reaim the camera to properly frame the shot.
I have to admit, I use my camera's auto features in, at least 75% of my shots. I deliberately look for good lighting conditions whenever I can. Call it lazy shooting, but I only use manual overides when I absolutely have to.

Blown highlights. At least if the shadows are blocked, you can lift with differing measures of success. With blown highlights there is no information to retrieve.
