I'm getting down voted a lot without anyone addressing the arguments - fairly normal for human social interactions.

Just consider this: How would someone who has spent a lifetime studying photographs make sense of a holograph?

The information is structured differently. Nothing will get clearer by studying little bits in detail. The only path to clarity with a hologram is to look at the whole.

To attempt to study AI without a deep interest in all aspects of biology, particularly evolution, seems to me like studying pixels in a hologram - not a lot of use.

Everything in this chapter seems true in a limited sense, and at the same time, as a first order approximation, irrelevant; without the bigger picture.
