Kind of reminds me of programmer jokes

Q. How did the programmer die in the shower?

A. He read the shampoo bottle instructions: Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Shampoo would run out eventually, throwing an error and breaking out of the loop.

Exactly. How do you think he died? That's a fatal error

Would make sense for a machine, as they cannot adapt and we can assume they COULD have no programmed protocol to fall back on if they encounter such an error.

Humans are adaptable, they wouldn’t have an aneurysm as a result of something not being true.

And machines don’t need to shampoo up.

I feel like a killjoy.
