Here I was assuming that PJ had integrated Descartes and Zen and was trying to understand the deep wisdom behind the koan.
The scary thing is, if I engage "extracting wisdom from koan" mode I can actually feel "you are both your hypothesis, and not weighing any evidence" fitting in neatly with actual insights that fit within PJ's area of expertise. +1 to pattern matching on noise!
Even scarier thought: suppose that what we think of as intelligence or creativity consists, in simple fact, of pattern matching on random noise? ;-)
