Even though humans are indeed machines in many aspects, as buttons can
be pressed to make them react in certain ways, emotionally, there is
still a chance that an emotional painting-by-numbers piece will not
fare so good, once the initial impact has passed.

As for the sunsets and such, there is more to the picture than meets
the eye.
