As I see it, it's basically a question of whether a computer gets to be called "reasonable". Since the definition of "reasonable" starts off with (of a person) having sound judgment; fair and sensible. "no reasonable person could have objected" synonyms: sensible, rational, logical, fair, fair-minded, just, equitable ...I would say that a computer isn't reasonable. I would go on to argue that whoever let a computer read headlines and use complex pattern-matching to bet large sums of money was also not very reasonable or responsible.
