Basically, yes. It means that the computer won't do it, you'll actually have to deal with a person, which could take many seconds. I've never scalped, but my understanding is that they try to grab just a few pips at a time, capitalizing on specific market behaviors. So slowing the scalpers down puts them at such a disadvantage that it nullifies their systems.
