Overthinking Complex Humans

I am beginning to understand

Why when it comes to some
things in life

A referees is deemed to be required
to preside over proceedings

So neither party gets to bend the
rule's or gain an unfair advantage

Problem is if that referee is human
and not a computer

Unwittingly they will also be biased and
prejudice as every human is

And it's then left up to there own
individual interpretation of the rules

As apposed to if the referee is a
computer

Which basis all it's answers and
decisions on something logical

As 2 simply yes or no

Because human beings are far more
complex 

And require a multiple choice of 
options

Like yes , no , emotions , feeling
all or none of the above

Down to do I tick or place an x

And should it be in a circle or a box

Until we eventually come to the point
where all we can think is

Sorry I've lost my train of thought

Please just remind me what was the
question you asked me again was
and my options are


I said I was going to make myself
a cup of coffee

Did you want one as well

You then answered yes

So I said

Do you have
Or
Don't you want

Milk and sugar

In yours
