Yes, this forum can be rough on threads criticizing the game but that is most often a creation of the attitude of the original post. Also, I think the word bug is a bit harsh when talking about most things you have brought up in this thread. AI code is complicated and there are always tweaks being made by Markus & company so obviously there will always things that can be improved. If we can develop a "let's work on this together" attitude and simply don't engage with those who do not adhere to that mantra we could be more productive.
This a great game we all love or we would not be here, best not to forget about that.

The bolded is part of the point I was making. I wouldn't call perceived "flaws" in the AI "bugs" necessarily. Also I am surprised that someone would think my inclusion of the word "inexplicable" would discourage discussion as I thought it would prompt people to prove me wrong. I will try to use more "vanilla" language in the future.
The other reason I made this thread is because I have brought up some of these issues in the past and always got shot down by the responses of "I've been playing for ten years and never seen this." "Show us screen shots and prove it really happens" etc... So I created this thread and started posting screen shots to prove I wasn't just trying to troll the community as it seemed some were indicating they believed.
