"Do you expect him to say to you, 'So-and-so is a robot because he hardly ever eats with people, and I have never seen him fall asleep in the middle of a case; and once when I peeped into his window in the middle of the night, there he was, sitting up with a book; and I looked in his frigidaire and there was no food in it.' "If he told you that, you would send for a strait-jacket. But if he tells you, 'He never sleeps; he never eats,' then the shock of the statement blinds you to the fact that such statements are impossible to prove. You play into his hands by contributing to the to-do."

Todo se reduce, entonces, al cerebro, ¿pero debemos dejarlo a un nivel de células contra positrones? — empezó a decir cautelosamente Andrew — . ¿No hay forma de imponer una definición funcional? ¿Debemos decir que un cerebro está compuesto de esto o aquello? ¿No podemos decir que un cerebro es algo, cualquier cosa, capaz de cierto nivel de razonamiento? — No funcionaría — contestó Li-Hsing — . Tu cerebro está hecho por el hombre, no es así en el caso del cerebro humano. Tu cerebro ha sido construido, el suyo desarrollado. Para cualquier ser humano que esté dispuesto a mantener una barrera entre él y un robot, estas diferencias son una muralla de acero de un kilómetro y medio tanto de altura como de espesor.
