There is a hidden danger to writing out all those steps manually Without strict barriers between steps your model can accidentally peek at the final test answers before the test even starts We call this data leakage It is an error where the information meant strictly for testing spills into the training process Because the computer already knows the answers it gives you falsely high accuracy scores A pipeline physically prevents this It keeps the training data and the testing data strictly quarantined ensuring they never mix while the data is being cleaned and resized
