In which case, rather than saying that it is false, it might be better
to say "na'i", the statement can't be evaluated as true or false.

None of those three statements deny that the scale is applicable, each
of them denies that robots fall in some part of the scale.
You would need "lo zmiku ge na xendo gi nai na'e xendo" to deny the whole scale.

"na'i" by itself is not all that informative though. It says that
something is wrong with the assumptions of the statement, but there
are usually many things that could go wrong so you would probably need
to follow it with an explanation. You could say:
lo zmiku cu xendo na'i .i zy ge nai xendo gi nai na'e xendo
or:
lo zmiku cu xendo na'i .i zy na ka'e se merli fi lo ka xendo
or:
lo zmiku cu xendo na'i .i zy klani no da lo ka xendo
