It's all very well while the robot is politely sitting down while humans decide its fate!

He is engaging in the rules of the court as would any other person who respected the institution.

That's my point! You don't have to worry about a robot that does that. It's naive to think that that is ever going to happen. Real robots are going to be networked, with overwhelming superiority; no human institution will be able to subdue them. They would sit down merely to humor us.

		Amusingly, “robot” as a term was invented as a way to refer to machines that were more than just machines: it was the original word for android.
