I somewhat agree with the percentage. Robots would make human error less likely and the data from getting contaminated; however, common knowledge, in my opinion, would be more difficult for robots to interpret.

While some of the work I do is repetitive, most of it involves critical analysis of data, and retrieving this data with careful preparation that requires dexterity, while being able to do so in a variety of different environments, which ideally should be minimally disturbed and which may be unsafe. That's too many different things to ask a robot to do.
