Yeah, the joke doesn't land for me at all because it strains credibility too much. Who hears a person come into a house openly and loudly and assumes "this is a burglar"?

--- Quote from: St.Clair on 06 Mar 2020, 23:59 ---IMO, one of the tricky but Very Important things to do with anything running a version of the Three Laws is to somehow keep them from coming up with an entirely logical interpretation of the First - or formulating a version of the Zeroth - that involves taking away all human freedom, for our own good / to protect us from ourselves and each other.

Because really, we'd all be so much safer (in both/all senses of the word) if we spent our entire lives locked into Matrix pods or something.

Padded ... pants?

I recall padded jackets ... (One more reason to be grateful that FB didn't exist in the early 90s)
