If you look at Australia it is largely a Christian country with Christian
norms. The things we do, the way our political parties behave, have, if not
an activist Christianity about it, Christian ideals.

To some extent.

Yet I'm struck by how robotic the motion is. A human clearly anticipates
the effect that the moving of a limb will have on the rest of the body,
and allows for it. By contrast, the robot appears to treat the body as
being rigid (which it clearly is not), which results in the jerkiness of
the motion.
