It is not surprising that the space shuttle computers are taught
to care not only for the survival of the machine, but for the
survival of the crew as well.  Mutual survival of man and machine
leads to a preferred state of the world for both parties.  A
selfish survival strategy on the part of either machine or human
would lead to a mutually detrimental state of affairs.  QED.
