What principle is that? I've never heard of such a thing.

Care to back up this clearly false statement? I've heard only the opposite regarding computers. Also, hard AI being nothing more than an impossibility and (political)fantasy of know-nothings is a very real option. The peak of automation will be reached within this century and it won't be ``great'' in its ability.

You're just being pseudo-intellectual and making up false principles.
