If the learning agent does not find any new knowledge why does it make Martha report having learned something new? Why not make her feel as if nothing changed?
(Sort of redundant because we talked about this at the meetup, but:)
That's a contingent feature of the learning agent, not a necessary one. As with the feeling of déjà vu (searching memories for a match that isn't there), we're consciously aware of the error messages generated by this agent.
