Computers nowadays don't generally crash either. And when you say "Blackboards don't have parse errors" what you mean is that blackboard never tell you when you've made a mistake (because they can't). That's not a feature. It's easy to program a computer not to tell you when it detects an error. But there's a reason this is not often done: detecting errors automatically is tremendously useful, especially when you're doing math.
