In your case - the computer isn’t lying....
It’s just demonstrating one of the “undocumented features” that was written in to the app or OS.

I’m an iSeries Admin. IBM writes tons of these “undocumented features”, and lots of fixes and work around’s for them as well.

.....Eerily wicked.....

My speculation is that the robot is just stupid and signaled in error.

Those rules were built into all robots, and from these results, it looks like we should do that.
