Why is a bighorn sheep like a computer program?

The sheep go through a number of XOR gates and wires, as they wander around browsing. There main activity is eating. Not escaping predators. 

But clever people can arrange the wires and XOR gates in anticipation. Then, through quirk of wind or deliberate broadcasting of smell and noise, or through use of well-trained dogs, the sheep can be made more and more uncomfortable. In a panic they worry about what is behind, as they rush into a shallow bowl with hunters hiding on the downwind side.

It is simple: add sheep and stir.
