You're main points are true, but I think you have one thing backwards. We're not finding a way around stupidity, we need to teach machines to perceive things the same way we do. All of the Piaget conservation illustrations are critical towards understanding bottom up "raw" perception that is untempered by top down logic. I'll actually be more impressed when we can show machines functioning in the same way.
