I'm just pointing out that when you say [...] "stars are optimization processes", you're missing the whole point of the Kasparov post.

I was addressing the sentence: "But though stars burn longer and brighter than any craft of biology or human artifice, stars are neither optimization processes, nor products of strong optimization pressures." - which, IMHO, is factually inaccurate. I do not see any evidence that I am missing anything.
