It turns out the comment required approval for some reason. We approved it, and I hope it won’t happen again.

Several times I tried to send a question to the site, and I was prevented from doing so by a demand that I solve an addition or subtraction problem in order to prove that I’m not a robot.

And here I ask: why prevent robots from asking the owner of the site questions? And what is the point of these addition and subtraction exercises? Is this Plato’s Academy, of which it was said that whoever does not know mathematics should not enter?

It seems to me that as long as the state has not imposed a requirement of “core curriculum studies” on robots, the site owner has no right whatsoever to prevent robots from participating in the site’s discussions, and there is even an explicit verse: “Many daughters have done valiantly” — robot edition 🙂

On the contrary, it’s to prove that you are a robot.

You’re the best — keep amusing us.

Many greetings to his honorable robotic self, and astounding blessings,

It seems to me that the mechanism preventing robots from asking questions is justified, though it does not prevent them from posting comments on the site.

The story is well known of one of the great sages of Israel who was chosen to serve as rabbi of a community, and the scholars of the community decided to test his abilities by presenting him with a complicated question they had invented. The rabbi tried but could not find an answer to the question, and then asked: “Is this a real case or an invented question?” He explained that only for a real question involving practical Jewish law does a rabbi receive heavenly assistance to rule correctly.

From this we may learn that even on this site the rabbi receives heavenly assistance specifically when answering questioners on matters of practical Jewish law, but when the questioner is a robot — even if it is full and overflowing with Torah knowledge — it is not obligated in the commandments, and therefore its questions are not matters of practical Jewish law, and so the rabbi should not be troubled to seek answers to them without heavenly assistance.

… and therefore its questions are not matters of practical Jewish law…
