sorry, I could not resist that one :^)

dont rule out the importance that auton mode has gained in the last few years, and that a well engineered robot can be very easy to drive compaired to a poorly designed robot that lurches across the playfield like it has a mind of its own.

[ * in the movie the spacecraft was suppose to be fully automated, and West complained that his years of combat flight experience were being wasted on a ship that could be flown by a trained monkey ]
