What you're describing is the problems where you have zero entry counting. Single entry entails having a log.
Sure, computers can do basic math and ACID usually works out but that doesn't account for human-level errors. Subtle things like getting an idempotence check wrong can lead to cascading errors that are really hard to see and fix when you just have one view into the numbers.
