Reinsertion

[QuiDormit]

I always wondered if maybe Agent Gray wasn't all that informed. Also, the question isn't "can the machines lie," but more of, "are programs given the capability to speak falsely." I don't see why not.

I think the ending scene with the Oracle and Architect is often misinterpreted. Just because the Architect finds it distasteful to lie (something he obviously finds a disgusting human trait) doesn't mean that other programs' individual purposes don't find lies necessary.

For instance, Gray is not just a Machine liaison, he doesn't just provide machinist operatives information. He is also in charge of placating the masses.



OR it was just a shitty and poorly thought out storyline that the writers didn't realize how much of a problem they were creating.
