I am a PhD cognitive psychologist and a coder with 50+ year’s, and I’ve worked directly on the topic you’re writing about. There’s a LOT to say about your interesting piece. Way too much actually. We may have to take it offline. But I want to nod to this:

This is perhaps the funniest hacker joke I’ve ever heard! (Although, the Lisp error messages are actually pretty great. But I get the joke regardless.)
