I just read that speech. Thanks for the link, and man, I just realised that there might be tons of more canon material on the QCverse (apart from the comic itself)
osaka:
Is it me or Sam's offering seems like something more appropriate for Bubbles' smell calibration?

That's a high standard. Momo is not letting us off the hook at all.

Maybe if you just do your best to do your best. Everyone's human fallible.
Veronica felt bad about a minor faux pas. The kind thing to do under those circumstances for the aggrieved party is to offer comfort and forgiveness. Momo came through brilliantly, which is what I'd expect from her. However, while I'd expect it, it would be wrong to take it for granted. Everyone's human fallible after all, and no-one (least of all me) lives up to our ideals all the time. Just do your best to do your best, and you won't go far wrong. That works for me, anyway.
Method of Madness:
Also, it should be noted that the cookie was not worthless to Momo. The offer of the cookie was made expecting it to be eaten, but Momo benefited nonetheless.

Even if say, Momo's mouth is too rigid, and internal space too lacking to do so, there would most likely be chassis on the market that would have the required components. And those AIs would likely have the money to buy regular enzyme-liquid (saliva) cartridges the same way we waste money on printer ink.

I imagine that we see less eating from other AnthroPCs besides Pintsize due to the effect of the Uncanny Valley. Its one thing to see someone like Pintsize just shoving dough or tomato sauce into his mouth because its comical, but somehow I think seeing someone like Momo attempting to chew would be off-putting to some. As advanced as some AnthroPCs are, there might still be some actions that would just seem...artificial. Its that artificialness that might seem off-putting. Most AnthroPCs and AI are probably fully aware of this effect, so while they most likely are about to chew, probably choose not to in public/in front of people out of respect. Pintsize can get away with it because... well look at him.
