A human looks at it for WI approval rather than a PHP script. There's no practical difference.
There are a few minor requirements for WI that aren't checked by the log checker (they enforce accuraterip and log checksums, for example). They also check your drive offset by hand, where if I recall correctly,
What's logchecker only checks for a non-zero offset.
As far as audio quality is concerned, unless someone is using the wrong offset for their drive, there's no difference. It's mostly just ensuring it's a slightly nicer package and has a few non-audio related settings used. They also ensure that people don't leave file paths in their cuesheets.
I think if you're really into this sort of thing to the point that you care about the minor differences, you should be able to read the logs yourself and the checking is a moot point.
As far as I know there have been troubles in the past with What log checker.
Examples, please? We're aware you hate them because they banned your torrent client, no need to spread that sort of thing though. There was some pissiness about deductions regarding gap detection for XLD (since earlier versions didn't document it in the logs, it was impossible to moderate), but
I don't recall any outright "errors", just a few controversial decisions on settings/versions.
I'd be willing to bet after looking at hundreds of logs per day the occasional WI rip has a mistake as well. Humans are, after all, only human
