 * What happened after they removed the CPU from the terminator in T2? Was removing and sticking it back in enough to overwrite the "don't learn to much" program?
 ** "skynet presets the switch to read-only when we're sent out alone". So, it was not program, but a physical switch, like the one on SD-Memory Cards, which you can set to read only and back with a simple motion of a hand.
+*** Fridge Brilliance: If Skynet is worried about Terminators flipping their own switches when left unsupervised, then it's not going to make the switch software-based because given enough time and a free hand, a sufficiently determined AI of a Terminator's sophistication will eventually be able to hack the code. On the other hand it is physically impossible for a Terminator to remove its own CPU from its head, reset it, and put it back in, for the obvious reason that its going to shut down the instant the CPU is pulled out of the slot.
 * It might have been asked before but why didn't Kyle just show Dr. Silbermann his brand from the prison camp to prove his story? He shows it to Sarah earlier in the movie, but Silbermann claims he "doesn't [have] a shred of proof." He might not have believed him still, but it's better than just expecting him to take his word for it.
