Comment on Popperian Decision making

I''m willing to reformulate like this:

1) How can a human sort out good ideas from bad ideas?

2) How can a computer program sort out good ideas from bad ideas?

and the subsequent paragraph can stay unchanged. Whatever recipe you're proposing to improve human understanding, it ought to be "reductionist" and apply to programs too, otherwise it doesn't meet the LW standard. Whether AIs can be more rational than people is beside the point.
