Could you point to some reasons why you'd think that there is anything deep and profound about deep learning? As far as the evidence I know goes, its very shallow as a scientific concept. All there is, is the idea of using convolutions for image feature extraction, which predates "deep learning" by decades. And there is little evidence that the nets do anything more than memorization, which is hardly profound too.
