At first I found this thread interesting, then humorous. Now it's just sad. There are some people that are gunna keep yelling robot and that's the way of things.

You can't use correlation to imply causation, but since the publishing of this thread, I have heard "ROBOT!" shouted way less. This idea has informed Chief Delphi posters and lurkers of the downsides of shouting ROBOT! - they may not have even considered it before. This thread has informed teams on alternate, safe ways to clear a path through the pits. And even now, people are posting and changing their minds on this issue. Just because you've gotten the message doesn't mean everyone has.
