So someone though that someone who can't program robots good enough to do the cleaning, could program robots for cooking?

i think its more the social tolerance of what is acceptable food to eat is more lax than the tolerance of what is an acceptably clean dish is. even automatic dishwashers dont clean perfectly without some level of human intervention.

If I were to wish that it weren't, the tolerance for the clean dish part will increase instead.
