Does that make sense?
Why do they need hidden programming directives, when it's simpler to just assume they're crazy?

Also, I think you're confusing Oldcrons and Newcrons again. In Newcron fluff, the only ones who are explicitly 'KILL EVERYTHING' are the Destroyer Cults, and possible the Flayed Ones (no one's certain because they can't talk). Modern Necrons, at least as far as the sentient/sapient ones go, run the spectrum from Conquer Everybody to Get Off My Lawn You Darn Kids to Leave Us Alone.
