Cos you can't take a computer, not even the just truly awesomest
nooral network ever, to see the ducks, get it to throw them bread,
etc, etc.

Take a walk through your life.  Can you really see a machine going
through that with an identical outcome?  If so, lay off the cyberpunk
and get some fresh air with some good folk :-)
