"Wall*E" Nitpicks

Noah Millman notices some problems with the film, such as this:

Why does EVE pack heat? Her function is to look for vegetation and, if she finds some, shut down and wait to be picked up. The Earth is uninhabited, so there are no enemies or wildlife to worry about. Why should she be heavily armed? Apart from the obvious need to make her more like Angelina Jolie, I mean.
This led to a classic rejoiner from one of his commenters: "Might as well ask why Glenn Reynolds packs heat when his function is to teach law students and say “indeed.”"
