> Fallible humans expecting infallible results from their fallible creations is quite the expectation.

We built tools to accomplish things we cannot do well or at all. So we do expect quite a lot from them, even though we know they're not perfect. We have writings and books to help our memory and knowledge transfer. We have cars and planes to transport us faster than legs ever could... Any apparatus that doesn't help us do something better is aptly called a toy. A toy car can be faster than any human, but it's still a toy.
