[Star Trek] Sonic-shower thought: How can phasers miss in space combat?

* The Enterprise-E's astrometrics lab can track, predict, and simulate/experiment with trajectories of pretty much any stellar body, even if it's just comet sized. From lightyears away. 
* The ship's computer is smart/fast enough to simultaneously: replicate food, create life-like holograms from particles, control warp reactions, control environmentals, route power, and still be used by Wesley Crusher to lookup sweaters. 
* Phasers fire near the speed of light (I heard the Voyager could even fire *in* warp!).  

I'd expect the ship's computer should be able to accurately hit even the best ship pilots in the quadrant, near 100% of the time. And with the Federation's finest scanning technology, voice commands and engineering knowledge, I'd bet the ship's computer would be incredibly effective at targeting exactly what you want.  

So why is it even necessary for Lieutenant Worf to fire phasers, and how is he missing?? At the battle of Sector 001 even the BORG missed! Is this a conspiracy by weapons officers (and drones) to keep their positions relevant?

They miss in combat because every ship they fight has some sort of anti-lock technology, making target lock a lot harder.

They never miss when they are shooting an asteroid or the surface of a planet.
