I think the point people are trying to make is that without the CCs, the effort is takes for someone without very good skills is much much higher than if the CCs are available.
For example, a first year student of Japanese could easily (and relatively quickly) run through a CC script, looking up all the words he/she doesn't know, and come up with a very poorly translated script without much effort.
Without the CCs, they'd spend 5 times longer trying to pick up words from the dialog and get easily frustrated.
I.E. CCs enable crappy translators to produce crappy work quick and easily.
That being said, CCs also help _good_ translators produce good work faster and more accurate as well.
Well, I mainly get scanned pdfs so who am I to comment.
