well, its only *super-duper* goal is friendliness. why couldn't
everything else just be subgoals of friendliness? i guess the word
"friendliness" has different connotations in the human sphere, to some it
is merely a passive quality, to others perhaps more active. on the other
hand, coding the super-duper goal of friendliness is admittedly very, very
tricky.
