This does not fly either, since both those security chicks died, both by Bernard hands, instead of just being stopped and erased.

Its also been 34 years. Alot of turnover in 34 yearsis pretty reasonable.
If the pre-park crew was lets say, 10-15 people. of which how many survived? Then, how many were willing to keep working with Ford? Its easy to believe only 5-10 people who knew Arnold, were still around at the opening of the park. Of which Logan even says Arnolds death was covered up, and hard to find info about. Which again, suggests few people around to talk about it, one way or another. Then, we don't know exactly when Bernard was created. We have to assume it was at least 10-15 years after Arnolds death. "when did you join us Bernard?" Ford has not been keeping Bernard ageless or anything. (who knows if he had a plan for Bernard not aging..)
In general, alot of the staff in the early episodes were noted for having NOT been working at the park for longer then 5 years.

Still not buying it. You know the company apple right? I bet if you think about it you have both faces of both founders ingrained in your skull and you never worked for them, or the company, ever.
The thing is, a company like that and a one of a kind service they provide and its founders would be household names with their images of their faces ingrained into pretty much everyone 20-30 yrs out.
I know its a show and not real, but still shit like that pisses me off because they think were fucking stupid, unless they plan to explain it all to us in the future.

Well, I can buy having one of the creators never seen by the public. Look at the Nolan brothers. And having enough turn over in 15-20 years so nobody current knows who Arnold was and reintroducing him as Bernardbot is believable.
But nobody goes into Ford's office and ever sees that framed picture? That might be stretching it a bit.

It definitely is more of a fairy tale idea than something you can ground in reality. More Wizard of Oz than Issac Asimov.
If it's just so Bernard can be a copy of Arnold it's not really necessary either because the narrative wouldn't have required Bernad to be a duplicate in appearance anyway. The mind is the important part. So what if he's a balding black dude with glasses.

Ford doesn't really come across as a public figure. I don't imagine he does press junkets like elon musk. There are HUNDREDS of fortune 500 companies where the public just has no idea who is in charge. Who's the CEO of Amazon? Who's the head of Google?
Maybe you have 100 people who are even in the same building as ford. But do you really think felix has ever even MET Ford? With as reclusive as he is, I don't think it would be crazy for the 5-10 people who could even recognize arnold to be "reassigned"

That's what I'm taking from this. Ford is obviously insane, and wants to protect his park at all costs. Why would Dolores just up and kill Arnold out of the blue just because she becomes self aware? She obviously enjoyed talking to him when he was still alive. I think it's more plausible that Ford programmed Dolores to kill Arnold (and anyone else who he saw as a threat) so that he could have complete control of the park, than it is to believe some of the hosts became self aware and decided to kill everyone except for Ford. Ford thinks he is god, and it's obvious through his actions that he doesn't want to share that power with anyone else. It just makes more sense that Ford betrayed Arnold and had him killed than Arnold was killed by the hosts and Ford just happened to miss his "friend" and recreated him.

Compare the two stories and they're eerily similar.
