I guess I should have made the joke more explicit. Note that I do not have primary training in cognitive science, computer science, or mathematics, and yet here I am, doing philosophy. :)

I didn't get the joke either.

I actually read it and thought, "yeah, that sounds about right." Though re-reading it it's obviously at least hyperbole, though I wouldn't say it's obviously a joke.
