We can't say how 'vague' it is or what matters at 'agential level' can we?

Well, then you interpretted my wording to suit your self, because I meant that a big diffference between robots and humans was that robots can always, in principle, be reset to factory settings, whereas that is not an option for humans, who are not even made in a factory, and have to be born biologically, and develop from birth in their individual way.
