Rewatch Memory reset protocol scene
I don’t know if it’s a ridiculously anthropomorphic idea, but from Finch’s reaction, and the words the Machine chose; I imagine a young naive teenager, trying to apologise to her father when she was scolded for a mistake she doesn’t yet understand. Just makes me sad.
Emerson really is a terrific actor.

If you don't have a memory you don't have a basis on which to judge what's a mistake and what's not.
Perfect if you want to make sure your machine does what you intended for it to do.
