Reminds me of the quote in the original Westworld movie:

“ These are highly complicated pieces of equipment… almost as complicated as living organisms.

In some cases, they’ve been designed by other computers.

We don’t know exactly how they work.”

Now how did that work out ;-)

However Michael Crichton imagined it would.

  • I guess that “well” wouldn’t have sold many books.

    • Shelve it with the Jurassic Park version where John Hammond builds a safe, profitable theme park, and The Andromeda Strain that gives people the sniffles.

    • That depends. If this equipment is part of the plot, you're right. If it's part of the premise of the world, "well" would be the expectation.
