There would be much to consider in making a 'realistic' test.
This is the part where I point to my sign which reads "ignorant software engineer". I think what I had in my brain was less of a more realistic test more of a more realistic appearing test. It's REALLY easy for me to rationalize away the risk right now because to me a bullet is far more destructive than our robots. Logically I know it's not but it requires and understanding of physics. A more realistic looking test would remove even that interpretation.


TL;DR - disregard if your target audience is people who actually know stuffs.
