Simulo substituted "Psybot" for the word "you" in a reply, and he wasn't talking to Psybot:
"Do Psybot like me?" he asked.
And his interlocutor seems to have understood him, oddly enough.

That happens in xemotepositive keyphrases sometimes. Change "you" to "[you]" and it won't.

Simulo recognized this line of dialogue:
"One time, in band camp..."
as containing one verb: "camp." And he then answered as if he'd been ordered to do some camping.
I'm not sure how I'd want him to answer that line, but it seems like there needs to be some sort of recognition for sentence fragments ... or at least some way to tell when a could-be-verb is acting like a noun (if it has no subject) ...
... But maybe this is more complicated than I initially thought.

I hope her xcommand response was particularly scathing. I hate when people command me to do math. 
[Edit]
That said, just checked transcripts and here's my contribution to amusing interpretations of input as commands.
Human: jerk
Critical Bill: Do I hear a please?
I'm not even going to touch that.
