Yes. The problem is the number of robots and the wide range of physical and mental defects they will exhibit statistically. Some of them will fail. Sorry if it

Yes. The problem is the number of robots and the wide range of physical and mental defects they will exhibit statistically. Some of them will fail. Sorry if it wasn't clear from the original post, but the hypothetical array of robots is an analogy intended to depict a perfectly moral society, the best case civilization achievable if you will, for the sake of argument. The larger argument goes that even such a "perfect" society cannot ever be deemed ready for its technological responsibilities - hence leading to the conclusion that the problem at hand is not one of morals to begin with and that the suggestion of holding back technological progress is a malevolent proposition on many levels. Based on that... oh well, just read the post ;)
