Ahh, I thought I had you... but then I read the "not random enough" part. Smart.
So, if you throw a baseball at my face, I am "programmed" to duck out of the way or try and catch it (depending on my confidence in my baseball skills
). You can determine that I will duck when you throw a large blunt object at me, does that mean I am not living?
