Ignore Dreyfus himself for the moment. A paper was published that made correct predictions, and gave correct explanations for them, at a time when most experts in the field disagreed. The question is, was there a better cognitive strategy or a better prediction algorithm those experts could have followed, which would have allowed them to recognize the rightness of that paper?
