I'm not good at explaining things cause I'm dumbo.

Id say watching a porno isn't the same as having sex, going to an art gallery isn't the same as painting a picture, reading a world class recipie and then buying a black and gold version from IGA isn't going to taste as good as it should.

You can view and taste all these things freely but to craft them yourself gives a unique feel and insight to the market. Like I said try it. It takes an hour so what.

Let these smart people explain it below
Excerpt from that pretty much echoes my thoughts https://www.smbtraining.com/blog/going-old-school-the-value-of-keeping-charts-by-hand
Why in the world would anyone do this? Well, first of all, electronic charts make life too easy. It’s too easy to look at thousands of price bars a day on your screen and simply accept them for what they are, scanning for heads and shoulders or whatever pattern you want to give a shot this week. Pretty soon, your eyes just glaze over. Drawing lines by hand forces you to think about the buying and selling that is behind each move in the market. The act of picking up a pencil engages a different part of the brain and makes learning faster and more complete. This makes you pay attention in a deep, almost Zen, sense of the word. It is not enough that you are at your desk. You must really focus and be in the moment while you are trading. Keeping charts by hand encourages this state and enforces the kind of discipline needed for top-notch trading.

And from the comments section
I know that Helene Meisler, an excellent technician at RealMoney, has always done all of her charts by hand. Her charting is on a daily frame, which allows her to keep many going simultaneously. And I recall that she keeps a variety of interesting market internals and ratios. Bottom line, though, is that she continues to keep those charts by hand because of the “feel” it gives her for the market, just as you’ve described.
