What is with you people? That's not the argument at all. A machine can only count as well as it was designed. First of all, I'm just one person. You may think you post on behalf of all liberals. I'm simply one person posting my own opinions. Second. In your post that I responded to, you said: Anyway, why would you want to create a precedent that machines are superior to humans? Didn't a human create the machine in the first place? I offered you two interpretations of this statement. The first interpretation was that "A human created a machine to do the task, therefore a human is superior at performing that task." The second interpretation was: "A human created the machine to perform a task, therefore, the machine is prone to error because it was designed by humans." Apparently you meant the second one. Sorry. Neither appears to bolster your argument that humans can do a more accurate job than can machines. Unlike many on this thread, I'm actually trying to learn. I haven't made up my mind.
