The thing is, the simplistic connectionism he's railing against is **not** an entrenched view in the AI community at large ... it's just an entrenched view in a particular subcommunity of the AI community.... And it's not as though he has *disproved* their entrenched view, he has just argued in favor of an alternative view, which I am more sympathetic to, but which is also well known.. Perhaps the reason his paper got rejected so many times was not that it was so radical, but rather that it contained so little novel content ;-) Occasionally, the peer review system actually can be right... ben g ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=120640061-aded06 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
