Identifying robots among human beings

Some of us are definitely robots and it’s hypothesized that some of us aren’t.

It’s hard to tell the difference, though, because the robots are known to be hard-coded to believe they aren’t robots.

My rule of thumb is to try to evaluate how strenuously a candidate denies being a robot. If s/he doesn’t seem to care too much, s/he may in fact be human.

But I admit haven’t found a decisive test yet, so there’s no way to study the hypothesis rigorously.
