I assumed the point of the manual interface in that scene was to avoid neurally interfacing with the entity that could hack minds.
I think the better question is why is that one robot drinking coffee?

He's not sniffing coffee, he's visiting Unicorn Valley with a take-out tea!

Walking around in public while tripping balls is a very bad idea.

--- End quote ---
My initial response to this was. No, I meant cattle truck!
(For such things were called that in the one place I ever worked that used them)
You can imagine my surprise when I went a did a quick Google and found out that (seemingly) almost NOWHERE else uses that term!
(And yet I am SURE I've seen a comic... I wanna say The Freak Brothers?... where the term cattle truck was also used and they had a cow on the *insert one of the millions of names these things actually are known by*)
ETA:
I had to look for it.. And I found it !
Now - the more astute amongst you will notice it says HAND TRUCK (although the font looks different and not as well spaced) NOT Cattle Truck!
So - I am now left wondering if I have made ALL of the above up over the last, what, 30-ish years? (I am CERTAIN that term was used in the textile mill... maybe it WAS just me!?!?!?)
And it's taken a web comic to show that!
(I must now go into my loft and find my old Freak Brothers comics and see if the original print did say "Cattle Truck" cos.. you know... that would have been the wordplay joke! Dammit!)
Aaaauuuggghhh!!!!!
(I LOVE the "Warren Commission" joke!) :)
