...we would be able to throw the junk info out the waste-gate

...we could throw obvious warnings out when something dangerous happened

...we could rearrange the input and start over and see if the output improved

...we could cover over the ugly parts of the relationship with a "skin" and not have to worry about it, the under-neath would take care of itself

...we would have a reset switch to wipe the memory clean and start over with none of the garbage info sticking around

... off-switches would exist, work and someone would have told me how to use mine
