wasn't the initial idea to use people as processors but, due to when the movie came out, that idea was not as easy for the general public to grok ?

Not really sure, but that would make sense with the caveat that Heinlein kinda blows and Stranger in a Strange Land was a terrible book that promotes fascist ideation and is borderline unreadable even to someone who chewed through so many of his other works.

Edit, because the thread is locked: "Grok" is from Stranger in a Strange Land.
