If you're writing a video game for example, the emotional authenticity and character building would be equivalent to cohesive mechanics which work well together, graphical quality / aesthetics, even story and level design all require programming to one degree or another. The same can be said for other types of programs like meeting business needs, but I think the video game analogy illustrates the point best.
In other words, the authenticity and character building is how well you're fulfilling the purpose or goal that you set out to accomplish.
