I'll play the devil advocate here.. hehe What if Einstein had decided being a life insurance salesman (indeed this was his B plan)? Necessarily other person could reach the same conclusion about Relativity as there're more people thinking about physics..
I think Jeff just accelerated the process as he didn't see any relevant moviment to design a framework for intelligence.. So I think that a global framework woud be a matter of time.. Indeed already there're some atempts about.. Chris Eliasmith's papers are a good example.. However this does not take away the merit of Hawkins.. His work is extremally valuable and cutting edge .. What I mean is that one time or another, a good framewrok could appear.. It could take years, could take decades..
