Thanks for your feedback.

Speaking about the substance, I'm not persuaded that the model of reinforcement based learner with abstract model stuff is accurate. I find it hard to explain why exactly (which is part of the reason I haven't commented to say as much), but if I had to pick a reason, it would be that I don't think the messy evolved human reasoning can be meaningfully broken down into such categories.

Oh, I don't think that the underlying implementation would actually be anywhere near as clear-cut as the post described: I just gave a simplified version for the sake of clarity. The actual architecture is going to be a lot messier and the systems more overlapping.
