** Though given the crapsack world they live in, no doubt it occasionally mistakes a real owner for a thief

** Essentially, yeah. First of all, we see two and neither had to be put down, they both kill themselves. The problem with previous models was their minds being unable to handle getting turned into (largely) unfeeling cyborgs and presumably losing all they hold dear in their lives. Faxx figured a sociopathic megalomaniac who doesn't really care about anyone else and gets most of his pleasures from kiling people and the drug he's addicted to, would okay with killing people for them for said drug and the power and immortality that comes with it. Given this horribly backfires and that the overall theme of the franchise isn't that corporations are made out of inteligent and responsible people, the idea being bad isn't something to scratch one's head over.

* The previous "candidates" to be Robocop 2 all went crazy and killed themselves or had to be put down. Yet they think a batshit-insane cult leader would be a good choice? What sense does this make? Was the "reasoning" something like "he's already crazy, so becoming Robocop 2 won't make him any crazier?"
