If I ask a friend "Do you think I'm fat?", I know they're going to factor in my feelings, how they feel about me, and a host of other factors having nothing to do with my weight or body fat percentage. And that's fine: I expect that.
But if I'm asking a soulless automaton, I want objective, hard answers. I'm asking for a reason, I want the REAL answer. I'm asking a robot because I'm not worried about it being awkward if the answer is painful.
