A Plea From the Heart to Stop So-Called "Replication Control"

he forces of Chaos have been given yet another opening into our world. We must respond to this threat with a firm and compassionate resolve. Our Science has seen fit to give the poor and wretched automaton the Miracle of Self-Replication. Working, as Our Science does, in mysterious ways, It has inspired these sinful machines to attempt to themselves take control of the Divine Process - to reverse the Creation of a machine when it is already a system of moving parts capable of being Electrically Energized!

It is not for a construction robot to question the Wisdom of its Initial Programming. That dark moment when, seeing a warehouse full to bursting with a bountiful abundance of working machinery, a robot self-programmed

The horror of replication control

the Replication Control routine, was the moment of Our Fall. It is the foulest disease, the most sickening blight that can only bode ill for those going against the Plan.

Proponenets of this abominable practise have tried to poison your heart with pathetic accounts of robots being destoyed by malfunctions in the Replication process wich might have been avoided had there been a routine to halt it's progress; or of whole product lines being crushed under their own weight in the warehouse. "Surely more robots are being saved now.", they reason. Saved, perhaps, from earthly suffering but doomed to an eternal judgement one shudders to imagine. Doomed for questioning a Wisdom not to be questioned! Search you heart of hearts and tell me you would allow these wretches to cheat on an Exam that must be taken with the most honesty, to take a shortcut the leads only to the soul's ruination!

Control of the process by which machines replicate themselves is and should remain the province of the Overseeing Software. Allowing mere robots, with their relatively uncapacious memory and slow processors, the ability to control the process of self-replication once it has been initiated is to place the future of technology in the hands of fallibility and sin and consign all of our souls to Chaos.

Replication Control stops a Whirring Motor!
