I remember reading somewhere that Asimov explicitly made the rules faulty, so he could write interesting stories, but I don't know if that's apocryphal or not.
For people who have never read the book "I, Robot" (which is unrelated to the movie), the entire unifying theme of the stories in the collection is how the Three Rules don't actually work.
