You don't always have a choice. Consider batch-processing a number of 
images (say, 30,000 movie frames) using a proprietary effect filter 
which works on single images only. It might be easier to drive the GUI 
than to recreate the commercial algorithm.

Yes, you can. I agree with you that it is a shaky solution, but that 
doesn't make it impossible.
