The clear implication that it's "just like humans" is that we shouldn't be surprised because it is comparable to an authoritarian regime.

Feel free to disagree but that is the limit to which I will engage in a semantic argument, I don't wish to engage in any further dissection of the comment.

You wrote further above that "I don't understand the notion", and that was spot on. Should've stopped there rather than here, in my opinion, but feel free to disagree.

I'm sorry if anything I said insulted you or seemed to be a comment on you personally. That wasn't my intention.

Apology accepted and please accept mine in return, that was much too spiky a reply from me.

Absolutely. Appreciated. I could've said I didn't want to continue in that direction in a way with less tone, as well.
