“Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy”
— Joseph Campbell

Simplified Meaning:
Computers follow strict rules and do not make exceptions or show leniency. If you make a small mistake, like typing the wrong letter in a password, the computer won’t forgive it. Imagine trying to enter a locked building; if your key is slightly wrong, the lock won't let you in, no matter how small the error is. Similarly, if you enter information incorrectly into a computer program, it won’t understand your intention and will simply stop or give an error message. Unlike people, who might understand and overlook minor mistakes, computers operate purely on logical and precise inputs. To use computers effectively, it's important to be very careful and exact with every detail you input.
