You have almost an entire POPULATION that 'doesn't get it yet'.
Call us when you understand what 'recognition and reconciliation policy'. is all about.

The two sequels, four and five, developed the character a lot more. He also appeared in many other Asimov books.

From that article,
"He [Carney] announced a $6-billion purchase of over-the-horizon radar systems from Australia in March as part of the government’s ongoing NORAD modernization project.'

R. Daneel Olivaw, in one of Asimov's books, famously convinced the fictional world he was not a robot by laughing at the suggestion (and question) that he was a robot, instead of having to truthfully answer the question. Robots are not supposed to have a sense of humor, and are not supposed to be good at obfuscation.
No, no talk until they understand "recognition and reconciliation policy. "
