Impossible to influence values, not just very difficult.

Nothing is impossible. Maybe AI's hardware is faulty (and that is why it computes 2+2=4 every time), which would prompt AI to investigate the issue more thoroughly, if it has nothing better to do.

(This is more of an out-of-context remark, since I can't place "influencing own values". If "values" are not values, and instead something that should be "influenced" for some reason, why do they matter?)
