Heh. Conceivable, although canonically (in Scud the Disposable Assassin), a Scud's Contempt Level is the measure of how little the robot is programmed to care about collateral damage and bystander casualties in the pursuit of its target. A Scud set to Contempt Level 0 will go to ridiculous lengths to avoid harming anyone or anything other than its target, while one set to Contempt Level 10 will cheerfully lob an orbital colony at the city where the target lives if it can get hold of one.
