* Falken claims that, in all the years Joshua had been operational, it had never learned futility. Later, when Lightman asks Falken if there is any way to get the computer to play against itself in tic-tac-toe, Falken answers, "Yes. Number of players: zero." If Falken knows how to make the computer play tic-tac-toe against itself, that implies he'd actually ''made'' Joshua play tic-tac-toe against itself in the past. So why didn't Joshua learn futility ''back then?''
