hmm, they work as designed. If somebody programmed a loophole and the
system comes to this point, well. Then there is don't see a mistake. Those

They encounter situations that weren't anticipated. Their reactions
are even worse than human reactions to unanticipated situations.
They're often *better* than humans for the rest of the time, though.
