FTFS: "...terminals would draw one character at a time by covering the page in black and then revealing each character by erasing a character-sized rectangle from that cover, one-by-one, line-by-line."

Exactly. There are many stories (and well worth reading) pointing at numerous 'edge' cases where the three laws can get a little ambiguous. I.e. since a robot should never allow a person to come to harm, through action or inaction. However, should a robot allow itself to come to harm (probably through inaction) if the robot determines that the person will come to harm anyway? And how do you tell if the robot breaks Law 1 in this case?
