From the transcript [0], when Justice Kennedy is asking if human intervention is required to retrieve the records, E. Joshua Rosenkranz responds: > A human being doesn't have to do it. It is a robot. > A human being in, let's say, Redmond tells the robot -- it sends the robot instructions. What does he mean by robot? Is this just software, or does an actual machine have to go spin up some servers in storage? I feel like something about the use of the term seems to imply more than just "software". Is there a legal advantage to using this word instead of "the program" or "software"?
