RoboKiller has "answer bots" that do what you said. They just keep saying things like "hello? I'm sorry, I don't understand" etc.

Sure. So, let's see what's wrong with that... it's one feature of many, and they focus on the wrong one. Not big enough to make it ubiquitous or even a standard. Can't tap into the "everyone sets this up" level of authority the other two companies have.

You seem to think I was saying that I have this neat idea for an invention, and you're rebutting with "someone already thought of that".

I was describing "this needs to be a policy, if only a soft one, and only these two gigantic companies have the sway to do that". So you've totally misread things. It didn't click for you. That happen to you much? I guess I shouldn't ask, you wouldn't know even if that were the case.
