Lightbulb The OmniDog Ltd

Facts:
1 - OmniDog Ltd designed the entire human products range.
2 - OmniDog Ltd manufactured the entire human products range.
3 - The entire human products range are produced with a defect technically termed, Subsequential Internal Non-Morality, or more commonly known as SIN, as it is primarily symptomized by the loss of moral judgement of the units.
4 - OmniDog Ltd claims to be neither responsible, liable or at fault for the SIN of its products.

SIN is either in, or not in the human products range's design.

Consider:
SIN is in the design.
All units are manufactured with defect as designed.
The entire human products range suffer from SIN due to its design flaw.
Fact 1 implies OmniDog Ltd is directly responsible SIN.
Therefore, OmniDog Ltd's claim in fact 4 cannot be true.

Consider:
SIN is not in the design.
All units are manufactured with defect despite designed differently.
The entire human products range suffer from SIN due to its manufacturing flaw.
Fact 2 implies OmniDog Ltd is directly responsible for SIN.
Therefore, OmniDog Ltd's claim in fact 4 cannot be true.

Now either case, feel free to file a lawsuit against OmniDog Ltd for compensation due its defected products!

Did you pay appropriate royalties to use the trademarks?

My guess would be: "from 99% of your posts, sophie."

Uh, actually this is a theological misunderstanding. Christians don't claim humans were designed with sin.

Aha--it's not a bug, it's a feature!

It's true--sin, as the Christian will tirelessly claim, is a result of free will, which is a great feature, most would agree.

Default rather reminds me of...

This thread rather reminds me of a story I heard from a close confidant. It goes like this :

A young man who was undecided about his future sought some advice from an unlikely source. It was an elderly lady who told him, son you are young, you should go to university, study there, obtain a reputable degree and after your life will be filled with choices. You will be happy. Life the old woman said is full of choices, and some are for you.

So the young man, took the steps necessary to gain admission to a university. He took morning classes, but when he was there he realised he could not have morning coffee at the local café or get the mid-morning specials at the local grocery store. He wondered about this for a moment and also about the advice of the elderly woman. How was university going to fill his life with choices, when by attending university he had cut all the choice moments out of his life.

I thought I had free-will he cried out in shame one day during a mandatory philosophy class. The other students turned and stared stupidly at him. Of course you have free-will, said the emanent professor, I will demonstrate this to you. But, I lost my free-will, insisted the young man, growing paler all the while, I can show you, now. How said the professor? Well replied the young man, as soon as I walked through that door, I could'nt be in the cafeteria, nor could I be in the pinball room, nor could I watch television.

Well, replied the professor, you can as well walk out the door and do those things, this is you choice in the matter. But, said the young man, with his tongue stuck out, then I could'nt listen to you talk about free-will.

By the end of the philosophy class, the young brilliant student, said free-will was the ability to do everything at anytime including everything at the same time.

Needless to say he got an A, but he is unhappy now, years after, stuck with his 10-6 job.

You are saying:
A - OmniDog Ltd claims SIN is not part of the design

So . . .
B - SIN is not a bug e.g. not a design flaw.
C - SIN is a feature.

C implies SIN is part of the design. OmniDog Ltd featured SIN in its products!

OmniDog Ltd is now happy to annonce the release of the range of "automated A.I. controlled life seeking killer bots". All damages caused by the bots are results of the free will feature of the bots! Do not hold OmniDog Ltd liable for such damages!
