But my preconceived notion is based on eyewitness (mine)
testimony. I heard and saw as your previous robot navigator
took us a couple miles and several minutes in the wrong
direction to maximize the time-on-freeway as opposed to
taking a short one-minute surface route detour.

I am sorry to say that not all are so morally pure as
the driven-snow Ford. Actually, in only one case have I
encountered a situation on the echo where there was an
actual exploiter and an actual victim. In a couple more,
we had people who were apparently letting their fantasy
lives some free rein on the echo, but that is a mostly
victimless crime. For me, if I were to write "I'm sailing
around Cape Horn next month" or "I just ate at the Luling
City Market Barbecue, which is widely reputed to have the
best smoked brisket in the world," I would strongly prefer
to have these things be true. Others get their little
pleasures without any outlay but for a little time and
typing. I like to think they are more squirrelly than I am.
