We also can make a lot of mistakes in our tagging.
"After looking at the angle of that corner up there, I calculate that I can take it in my Ferrari at 82 mph without losing control."
"I can jump over that fire hydrant without smashing my nuts."
"This gun isn't loaded so it can't hurt me."

It was only when I realized that he would step from behind the box to start firing at my friend (still ignoring me) that I realized it was an enemy.

Maybe it was thinking the same thing you were. I guess that's some pretty advanced AI!

where you see a clump of pixels and think "wall", the AI has been told "cover.value=+2.8", and can react accordingly.

That's because the AI has freed its mind.
