As a competitive speedcuber (Rubik's Cubes) this makes sense. If I watch a fellow cuber solve a cube, I understand their process even if it's a different method than the one I'd use. But a robot solving it? To my brain it looks like random turns until...oh shit it's finished.
Have you ever managed to learn the human Thistlethwaite algo? It basically lets you solve the cube like a robot would. I'm pretty rusty at cubing nw, but I always wanted to learn it.
