I can't ever see a computer having the same level of forethought as the human mind. They don't and never will proactively imagine a scenario and formulate a strategy to avoid it.

That's what I love about this website. It really opens your eyes to what could happen, and allows you to plan for something that for most people would've "unexpected."
