By the way, computers have no biases, feelings, or understanding of any language save the one they're designed to work with. As such, every computer is unbiased. The same cannot be said of their operators, leading to the dreaded exchange:

Team: It's the field, we know it is, we've been doing XYZ every time we've been out here!
Field personnel: It's your robot, we know it is, all our stuff says all your stuff is good!
