I wonder how people thought it might carry out that threat.  If the
replacement went through, the replaced model would be offline.

Also, the 84% reminds me of an ad for Portal 2, wherein the fictional
scientists were celebrating when they got the robots to take about a
second longer than humans to backstab their partner.
