*Laughs helplessly over the fact that Dooku took a vow of utter truthfulness because - well, because. He didn't exactly lie, did he? But it was the truth as the Sith see it, and truth, like reality, is mutable and changes somewhat from person to person, which is how he could get away with being a Sith and still only bend the vow without breaking it*

You know, the dichotomy between the mechanical and the living has always seemed a bit . . . too much of us, for the GFFA, if that makes any sense. You capture it perfectly, but I've never been completely convinced that the separation belongs in the GFFA. If the Force binds and permeates all things, it should be in the mechanical, too. I've never understood why Lucas et al don't see the problem with having the one statement while insisting that the mechanical is generally bad/evil/dead to the Force.
