I wonder if Mike is nodding implicitly to the thesis of "The Promise of Artificial Intelligence" by Brian Cantwell Smith in which he defines "judgement" as a key feature of true intelligence as realized by living agents, in contrast with a less authentic alternative he calls "reckoning". His aim is to work out what is needed to get to machines that exercise true judgement. BCS contends that judgement demands a pragmatic involvement in the world such that something really is at stake for the agent. For living agents, the ultimate source of this skin in the game is the imperative of staying far from thermodynamic equilibrium, an objective that steers all levels of self-maintenant process from self-repair to immunal response to attention and awareness.
