Can you tell the difference between Charlize Theron and a Mars rover? If you were an android, you might get confused; but evolution allows us to know and appreciate Charlize theron when we see her. Trust your multi-trillion-cell nervous system: it will steer you right, and it will take a lot more to confuse us than an artificial brain, even with the deluxe super-duper-titaniumx skeleton with vat-grown skin and patented fuck-me facial contortions and lower-body gyrations.
