Just a contradiction on movie lore, because I'm a movie guy, HAL9000's problem was that he had almost conflicting pieces of data: To keep the secret a secret and commanding orders to tell that secret to Bowman. He ended up fixing it by telling Bowman and then killing him to keep the secret.

This was not human decision making, or unpredictable, but just a problem with commands.
