I think I'm going to answer my own question. Since smart gates are fully electronic, and all passports have a chip in them. I believe every country now has the capability of pulling up all the information on every country the passport holder has entered and departed. So, I don't think a manual visa entry stamp is even necessary any longer. That's just my conclusion.
