yes this is quite possible and a very real threat not to be takin lightly

this is why it was so crucial that the selling price for the amputated claw be
low

if for example the dismembered claw sold for thousands of dollars ,i fear there
would have been  a worldwide genicide of what remaing Robots there are

again i am very thankful this will not now happen

Relieved Regards
