By the way, you should never assume there's some kinda weird "bot error" with respect to most any of its edits, but particularly those involving categories.

Category runs are comparatively manual and they always reflect an intentional change on my part. Every category bot run is individualised — meaning that I have to decide what's the old category name and what's the new. It's not some regex thing where maybe I've programmed the pattern recognition code the wrong way. I'm literally saying to the bot, "Take 'human flight attendants' and change it to 'flight attendants'."

So, if you see a bot-made category edit that you disagree with, please assume that I made the edit — not the bot.
