I was wrong in my conclusion, but I believe I am correct in my
   assertion that a robot, legally _might_ be considered somewhere
   in the spectrum between a lawnmower and all of its liabilities
   and a child and all of his/her criminal liabilities.
   *I believe it is important to establish where in the spectrum a
   robot should fit, or rather, where it should NOT fit.

   I do not believe a robot should be considered an autonomous
   being with the same rights and privileges and responsibilities
   as an adult human.
