I wonder how many people upvoted this post less for the ideas expressed and more because they like robots.

I think I upvoted it for the ideas, but can't honestly guarantee that the "oooh, shiny cool robot analogy appeals to my geeky heart" factor wouldn't have made me upvote even if I found the ideas uninteresting.

I upvote articles and comments that promise future articles that I want to read.
