"A common design assumption has been that lifelike, socially expressive robots earn more trust, which protects a robot’s “reputation” even when it makes mistakes.

However, research is beginning to show that that assumption is faulty."

I've been saying this: It's one of those things that look cool in scifi but are impractical in the real world - a wildly development-heavy & expensive complication that creates new problems without solving any.
