I brought up making airplanes, not simulating airplanes. You brought up simulating airplanes.

The point I am interested in making is primarily based on metaphor/precedent. Seems like a good basis for estimating how hard a task that hasn’t been done before is.

For a variety of things that various animals do, it is easier for us to make a machine that accomplishes the same kind of thing in a substantially different way than it is for us to make a machine that accomplishes the task in the same way.

Why would this pattern not hold for intelligence as well?
