But in truth, her emotions are just what one might expect from a computer: pure facades, and nothing more. She uses emotions as a tool, nothing more. A computer picking up emotions because it's surrounded by humans is as ridiculous as a computer generating fiction because there are a bunch of e-books on its hard drive.
Rei makes sense as a character. Yuki does not. But there's a very crucial reason why Yuki does not, and it's because she's a better character that way. She's better for the stories, and she's better for the audience. I like her the most of all the characters because of it.

To look at her as a computer is a very simplistic, and possibly wrong way of looking at her. At the very least, she's a very advanced artificial intelligence. I personally consider her (and her "species") to be sentient beings in their own right. Thus, I don't see why it's so ridiculous that she develops emotions.
