What did you find least persuasive in this week's reading?
"The train might not pause or even decelerate at Humanville Station. It is likely to swoosh right by." (p4)
There isn't much justification for this claim near where it's made. I could imagine it causing a reader to think that the author is prone to believing important things without much evidence -- or that he expects his readers to do so.
(It might help if the author noted that the topic is discussed in Chapter 4)
Not "least persuasive," but at least a curious omission from Chapter 1's capsule history of AI's ups and downs ("Seasons of hope and despair") was any mention of the 1966 ALPAC report, which singlehandedly ushered in the first AI winter by trashing, unfairly IMHO, the then-nascent field of machine translation.
