Some bots are smarter than that too. Some will post (borderline) relevant material for 5 posts just for that reason, then go dormant for months. Suddenly erupting links or propaganda en-mass.

I actually use this for household decisions with my wife. I'm not comparing her to the woman in the video, just saying there is a place. When we need to make a decision we evaluate the choices by: "Logic overrules indecision, but passion overrules logic." By that I mean if one of us has a logical choice that wins over a gut reaction but if one of us is passionate about a choice we try that first over a seemingly logical choice. This all-but eliminates arguments and logic often does win-out.
