Alright, I'm in the middle of reading I, Robot, and as cool as it is, I have one major gripe already.

Spoiler for Spoiler for I, Robot:
Alright, at the end of the episode with Cutie and the robot cult, the two main characters (who are ****ing SCIENTISTS!) are apparently satisfied that the robots will continue to run the power station since it's now part of their religion to run the power station without any deviance from procedure. The scientists do not know how this religion will evolve, or whether Cutie with have some revelation that may cause him to alter his behavior. Sure, his actions thus far are still within the acceptable parameters of the three rules of robotics, but they are ****ING SCIENTISTS!!!! You should require extensive tests and analyses before you come to any conclusions! But no! Apparently these sods are so in love with there own powers of deduction that they are supremely confident that everything will turn out peaches and cream. WTF?!?!?!?!
