Again, it's an obvious hint of intelligence, but again, I'm sure many self-aware things could easily be too stupid to figure it out, or maybe would have no reason at all to want to figure it out. Again, though indeed my computer example is a case of something being designed with that skill in mind, it is meant to show that something that isn't the slightest bit self aware could recognize itself in a mirror.
Then again, I heard this as an unexplained "fact" from a similar show that says lie detectors actually work. Lie detectors are scientifically prooven to be wastes of time, and in fact aren't admissable in court, but cops still use them because they don't want to give up what they think is still a good tool. Don't they know science rules over them no matter their opinions?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
