Yesterday I went into my local store to get a game. I took it from
the shelf and tried to walk out of the door. "Hold it", said the
owner,"drop the game, or I call the police". I dropped the game.
And of course I immediately went to the cops and told them about the
theft the store owner had committed.
In Logajan terms:
1) Fraud + Theft. I have the value
2) Coercion
3) Theft (I dropped the game, by coercion, owner gets the value back)
What's wrong ? Theft is a 'common sense' word and not a little
Logic 100 Token. It has a meaning in terms of social interaction
that we are all aware off. The Logajan approach is the standard and
wrong AI approach.
That is the try to narrow an elaborate concept into a single rule
(and then with the addition of lots of exception like (OK it is
no theft if the value originally belongs to the owner and if the thief is still on the premises and so on...)
