To those crying "Strawman":

I cite:

The "Artificial Development" AI project. This is how they sounded in 2003. They sound more biologically realistic now, and sounded even less biologically realistic when they first came out; note that they got millions of dollars in funding at that time.

To me even their latest version still sounds like neurovoodoo. What kind of work is this system going to do and why?

And neurovoodoo really was quite popular in the history of AI, once upon a time, especially the 80s, as best I understand that history.
