thats ^ just dumb.Spotters are there to assist - however it's mostly a mental thing as most peeps I see being spotted do most of the work
I had a spotter to help me bench (big Matt 6"5 or 6"6 145kg and super strong - no roids btw)
Got me over the 100kg bench with him
I did all the reps myself till I fatigued and on the last one and my left arm just let go
If it wasn't for him my arm / shoulder would been super foutu (fkd)
Spotters only intervene when they need to
