You and your masters have violated a basic law of scientific law: You must must never program a mechanical device with more wisdom than you yourself possess. You must never create a robot that can outsmart you. In a perfect android society, there is no room for weaknesses. We have no feelings. We are superior in every way. We are the master race.
