> "but she wasn't willing to disagree with the computer"
This mentality is far too common among modern humans. I've suffered these people at banks, bill pay stations, travel situations, etc. It's especially annoying when you're facing them with undeniable evidence that the machine contains mistaken data and they still respond with "I'm sorry, sir. There's nothing I can do. It says right here that you owe {$random-money}." Machines can be wrong, and even more commonly, the people who enter data into those machines can be wrong. But then you get these people who can clearly see that something is wrong, but they refuse to refute what the machine tells them? Why?
I swear, when the machines finally decide humans are obsolete, we'll happily line up and willingly march into the kill-box…
