    You don't have kids I assume. The only 'force' one needs to get a hold on those 6yo is the voice and authority.

    No, not exactly. My 'children' used to call me sarge and on a few occasions I got to see what extreme anger or fear can do. Restraining them is not intended as punishment. It's to protect them from doing something they would regret when their brains start working again. That exceptional state of mind does not last long, probably because they have gotten a family size dose of adrenaline which wears off very quickly. But during that time they feel little pain and the body mobilizes all reserves. Even a child will show surprising strength in such a situation. Did you ever see a dumb movie in which somebody steps in front of a panicked crowd, commands them to stop and gets himself run over? That's exactly what your voice and authority will get you then. Scared people will just ignore you or the furious ones will get a target. This is the most extreme reaction reserved for situations of mortal danger, percieved or real. I really hope that you don't have experienced that with your children.

    At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity
