I've got a hard time believing that that's what was intended (technical common sense and all that). All the same, you'd think that a clear, airtight definition of a robot might have been a useful thing to include.

I'm sure they try very hard to come up with good definitions, unfortunately given the wide variety of designs, etc, it can be near impossible to have an 'airtight' definition.
