I saw someone recently who was asking in a forum if they should incorporate BLTouch into their 3d printer. Their logic was that they didn’t know how to bed level.

I know it’s tempting, but don’t do it. In theory, it’s a great idea. Just get the probe to automatically do the bed leveling for you. But, in my experience, it’s never worked like that. The best option has always been to mechanically get everything as close as you can to perfect. Then use the software to fine tune that. The more the software has to compensate for, the more error you are going to have in your bed level, and in your prints.

Just to be clear, I’m not opposed to BLTouch, or any other automatic bed level devices. What I’m opposed to is the idea that you can somehow skip the effort of mechanically setting your bed level.
