I've seen examples of this where the photographer was using a motorized auto-everything camera to photograph a heron in flight - the photo with the best exposure had the heron in a dorky wing position, auto-focussed on the bird's wingtip while the head was clearly out of focus. And this in a magazine article explaining the virtues of automated camera features.
