As an undergraduate of fifty years ago, and a current user of Perseus, I
think Henry Lynam (today) has it right. The skill of reading Greek
includes deciding from context which of the possible interpretations of
a word is the appropriate one. If the system takes this decision away
from the user, he loses the need to acquire this skill. Down with
dumbing down.
