The quote is out of context and doesn't really support the point. Kay wasn't talking about soft problem solving strategies so much as concrete representation systems. Here's the full quote: "At PARC we had a slogan: 'Point of view is worth 80 IQ points.' It was based on a few things from the past like how smart you had to be in Roman times to multiply two numbers together; only geniuses did it. We haven't gotten any smarter, we've just changed our representation system. We think better generally by inventing better representations; that's something that we as computer scientists recognize as one of the main things that we try to do."
