I agree with that to the extent that "theoretical advances" could address the 
philosophical objections I am making. But until those are dealt with, 
experimentation is a waste of time and money.

If I was talking about how to build faster-than-lightspeed travel, you would 
want to know how I plan to overcome theoretical limitations. You wouldn't fund 
experimentation on that until those objections on principle had been dealt with.

Let me put it this way: I would think anyone in a position to offer funding for 
this kind of work would require good answers to the above.

My view is a little different.  I think these answers are going to come out of 
a combination of theoretical advances with lessons learned via experimenting 
with early-stage AGI systems, rather than being arrived at in-advance based on 
pure armchair theorization...
