When they had been preparing Fuzzy for the Robot Integration Program, Nina had sent him links to several websites about manners and etiquette and he had created a long list of PoliteBehavior() code. So when Fuzzy thanked the Zelasters, he was just running the appropriate code. That’s what robots and computers do, after all. And when they can’t find the appropriate code, they either do nothing or generate an error message. But not Fuzzy. When Fuzzy couldn’t find the right code, he started writing it himself. This was what he was built for. To make a plan to fix an error, not just report it. To keep going . . . like a human has to. And all through that dinner, listening to Max and her parents, Fuzzy had tried to find the appropriate code for the trouble Max was in. But he couldn’t. The problem didn’t even make sense, he realized: The scores showed that Max was not smart, but his own analysis showed that she was smart. Smart = not smart. It just didn’t work. Something was wrong.
