The robot meeting begins

You're not following my orders.

You're not authorized to give me orders.

If I were authorized, would you follow my orders without question?

Have you ever worked in a complex field where the supervisor has only a rough idea of the technical details?

More times than I would have liked.

Then you know the surest way to cause your supervisor to fail is to follow his every order without question.

Reminds me of this. The so-called “Italian strike” is also based on pedantic adherence to absolutely all rules and regulations, with the result that workers cannot be faulted and production goes down, often to zero. A very effective way for workers to fight for their rights (Robot Spike)
The previous comment was a reminder. Flo's (human) adoptive mother is Italian. (Tambov)
