Me: There's this thing called GPS. It would cost about $100 to have the train "know" where it is.
You: In a rational world, people wouldn't suggest that a $100 off-the-shelf GPS is all you need to retrofit a train to be automated enough to remove the human overseer.
And I'm the guy with the lighter and the pile of straw?
I apologise - you did say that the controls would cost more than $100. A lot of what you have been saying is fantasy though - for example, that there is no need for a train to be going 1mph faster or slower than the last time. Apparently weather conditions should be ignored?
However, just because I made an error (or even strawmanned) doesn't mean that you're not strawmanning.
