<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 25929953, member: 77639&quot;]To give artistic creations (coin dies, statuary, wood carvings, etc.) with final productions made by computer-controlled machines a more human-like touch, a bit of judiciously applied random error would need to be incorporated into the programming.&nbsp; This goes against the grain of engineers and programmers.&nbsp; And I imagine those directing and financing the projects wouldn’t like the idea either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the Notre Dame fire, I was astounded that a national treasure like that did not have a fire sprinkler system.&nbsp; The cost of installation would have been miniscule compared to repairing what remained.&nbsp; And then there was the lost of irreplaceable objects and structures.&nbsp; I’ve visited quite a few museums, cathedrals and castles in the UK.&nbsp;&nbsp; Museums are pretty good on fire detection and suppression; cathedrals and castles, not so good.&nbsp; Don’t know about the Continent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
