To elaborate a bit, most of the excerpts I've heard have to do with the availability of sensors.

E.g. Task: grasp an egg without cracking it

Physical platform 1: actuators, no pressure sensors

Physical platform 2: actuators, pressure sensors where egg contacts robot

Inarguably, the simplest successful implementation of the task in driving code will be much more concise for platform 2 than platform 1.

... Now generalize the same idea to trying to teach disembodied AI to be human.
