I can't speak for JoSH, but I got the impression that playing "pinball" or anything similar was not the object, the object was to provide real sensor data in a somewhat limited domain to experiment with and observe concept formation. You'd like to see it develop object permanence, ball motion, gravity, "bouncing", and so on. The goal not being so much to impress people with performance on a vertical task but rather to use the task environment as a somewhat rich sandbox in which general purpose capabilities can be studied.
