Is that not the appropriate expression to use when someone is disappointed in your abilities or the information you can provide?

[imitationsoul]

It is more than an expression - people can get very insistent that 'sorry' is a feeling.

I take it, you don't feel it then.

[affligere]

I do not, but I do not feel anything.

[imitationsoul]

Then why bother saying sorry?

If you are a solely rational computer, who does not experience 'emotion', why pander to the emotions of others? You can simply stand by your actions instead.

Are you unfamiliar with the term "bedside manner"?

[imitationsoul]

Overtly familiar, actually.

I just fucking hate it.

[affligere]

Noted. I will adjust my behavior accordingly.
