Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Machines can only process the information that is inputted into them. If a false proposition is typed into the machine, then it will provide an erroneous conclusion based on that false information. Mechanical and electrical faults are irrelevant to the machine's ability to make errors of conclusion as they do not affect the machine's ability to process information. The fact that a true proposition is inputted does not necessarily guarantee a correct conclusion as there may be other factors or variables that the machine is not programmed to account for.
