I'll take that as a compliment :-) but to clarify, I'm not saying its weakly recursive. I'm saying it's quite strongly recursive -- and noting that recursion isn't magic fairy dust, the curve of capability limits rate of progress even when you do have recursive self-improvement.
I suppose 'quite' is a relative term. It's improvement with a bottleneck that resides firmly in the human brain.
Of course it does. Which is why it matters so much how steep the curve of recursion is compared to the curve of capability. It is trivial maths.
