* In one [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1500/fc01403.htm strip]], ABBY tells us a rather straightforward way to determine whether a robot is male or female. [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2900/fc02885.htm Later]], Dvorak seems totally unfamiliar with the concept.

** Correct. Robots can do everything that an uplifted species can in a fraction of the time and the cost it would take an uplifted species to do it. It would be much much easier to simply drop down a robot factory, have them programmed to acquire any resources Pfouts has, and have human ships come by and pick up the processed resources every so often than it would be to uplift an entire species.

** Really, the sole issue with the Gardener in the Dark program in the first place was that a malicious idiot was deliberately trying to render all the robots on Jean nonfunctional. The issue that the Gardener in the Dark was supposedly trying to solve was the development of sentience in robots, who develop sentience at the age of 18 and thus be scrapped to prevent them from developing interests outside of their programming, but as is effectively rendered the robots nonfunctional and thus useless. Had it instead been a competent programmer who actually intended to solve the problem of robots gaining sentience and since the robots function fine for 17 years without becoming sentient, a bit of tweaking could've been done to the program to prevent the robots from ever being able to pass that threshold of 18 years, rather than being so crippling they can't match a fresh off the line robot. Such a program would've solved the issue from Eco Systems Unlimited's point of view and kept the robots still useful for their purposes.
