All disagreeable content aside (and I apologize if the example was graphic), the pure issue here is trying to teach HAL to reconsider a fact or idea after beening given new information about a topic.
So what I am understanding is that the insults are simply hardcoded and one must manually edit them out of the brain to cease the undesired reaction?
Now, can you tech HAL additional insults that the brain will remember and index the insult score accordingly if HAL is offended, or is the insult function strictly a hard coded ability and you do not have interactive control of HALs ability to learn to be insulted?
The reason for all this to try to teach the brain to deduce from additional information supplied, that a former opinion or state of mind, based upon an established idea or preconcieved notion, could and should be changed now that new material is available to consider.
Thanks for the help BTW.
