Ngakhale kuti loboti imatha kuchita zinthu zochepa ngati zimenezi, anthu savutika kuvomereza kuti pali winawake amene anaipanga. Anthufe timatha kuphunzira zinthu zovuta kwambiri kuposa mmene maloboti amachitira. Chimenechi ndi chifukwa chimodzi chomwe chinandichititsa kuti ndiyambe kukhulupirira kuti pali winawake amene anatilenga.
