This is a conversation happening over minutes. Like most people, even most 'grown up, mature' people, it take time for people to process emotions. Her feelings of inadequacy are completely understandable, and to condemn her for immaturity at not -immediately- having the most ideal, utilitarian outlook to the situation (as oppose to us out here, who've been reading this over a few days, processed it, and are detached from the emotions involved) is rather unfair.

This is an excellent point. Roko is still very much "in the moment" and, lest we forget, still not 100% herself after swapping chassis'. Once she has a chance to reflect on what's happened, I'm sure that she, like Momo, will be better able to respond appropriately.

I'm aware of that. I even mentioned that before. Perhaps I was being snippy in my response.

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 03 Jul 2019, 23:01 ---Eminence Grise is speaking in mature terms in today's strip and may have consulted a social protocol database.

I won't deny that improvement has occurred, yet I can't help but notice that the entry "when to offer people to punch you in the face" is curiouslly absent from my social protocol database ...

Which kind of makes you wonder whether them having an eminently punchable face should not be taken to mean that they designed it to be punchable, and easily restorable. Which further begs the question why they would do that in the first place?

My entire social protocol database had a momentary glitch when I realized Spooky and Roko didn't derail their entire conversation to make cute noises at the kitty they walked past in panels 1 and 2. My programming demands that I always notice kitties and give them proper reverence.

--- End quote ---
They don't have social skills probably because they were programmed not to have them, they might have been meant to ever lurk in the shadows, not getting involved. Even if they had social skills, it's like any other skills: they degrade the longer you don't use them.
