My son is 4 now, he knows what the button does... and for a while he
would turn it off knowing full well what would happen. One day he was
playing Gamecube and I said, "hey what does this button do?". He hasn't
turned off the computer in a while :)

I'm sorry, but your AI is off. There's no mothership or universe per se
for that matter. It's all a grand simulation. The master coders are
watching you! And tinfoil won't help.
