That's because (as in this case) when it comes to movies we have to firstly presume that the event is possible and that it actually occurred within the reality of the film.
Rather than reasoning from the ground up we have to assume it is true and then try to justify it as true by any means possible.
If we used such logic in everyday life, the results would be chaotic. We'd simply have a terrible sense of reality, take small unsubstantiated facts as gospel and then try to prove them blindly and...
Well, "if you eliminate all of the impos..." ok sorry that was just going to sound way too cliche.
This wasn't a very good example, since yeah the perfection of machine decision making seems questionable and wasn't really substantiated as factual by the movie. But I mean that is how logic works, you draw necessary conclusions given known facts, regardless of how absurd the conclusions may seem in themselves... People just aren't willing to stretch their imaginations to accommodate the facts.

I would take credit for hijacking this thread, but I think that was already well underway beforehand.
