Right. Clerks do the grunt work of this sort of analysis, which could easily be handed off to agents. They do this in order to get access to their real education: preparing and then defending to the judge the memos on those thorny legal questions. It would probably be a good thing for both clerks and judges to automate the sort of analysis this paper considers (with careful human verification, of course). That's not where the meat of anyone's job actually is.
