As far as I can see it the only difference is scaling, you can make 
many many millions of requests before a flood warning appears, whereas

you only need to refuse to leave a few times before the police are 
called. I guess humans have less patience than computers.

Of course I could be missing something?

Yes, Firewalls and people are not equivalent.  Information technology
has no sentience Mr James.

Sentience:  the readiness to perceive sensations; elementary or
undifferentiated consciousness

The point could be argued for. :-)
