I don't understand where you see that argument in the article. The statement was descriptive, not prescriptive. The claim is that the core of our thinking is analogy-based. It doesn't say we are incapable of logical reasoning, or that it is undesirable. If one agrees with that descriptive statement of human reasoning, then to make an artificial system that does similar things one should have it also reason by analogy rather than logically at its base.

>> The statement was descriptive, not prescriptive. It's a statement of opinion that declares a strongly held view with the clear intent to influence the views of others. Frex, when theists say that God forbids premarital sex, they don't only say it because they believe it to be true, they say it because they wish you to adhere to their own beliefs.
