I don't know why this started rattling around in my head, but...
The only Asimov novel I recall ever reading was Caves of Steel, and that was, like, 40-some years ago.
Something I wondered about then, and don't recall ever seeing explained:
Suppose R. Daneel was trying to arrest some fleeing perp, and the perp said, "No, YOU drop YOUR gun. Then flap your arms while hopping up and down on one foot, and continue until I tell you to stop."
What understanding of the Three Laws precludes that?
