It's an interesting paper, but a big flaw is that this:
> Alice has N brothers and she also has M sisters. How many sisters does Alice’s brother have?
...is not actually a simple task.
This can be quantified.
"1 + 1" is a simple task. It has a pretty small Total Complexity[1].
But to represent their task starting only with 1 and 0, you have to build a program of many, many lines. Orders of magnitude bigger than "1 + 1". Concepts like "has", "brother", "sister", "person", et cetera, have to be defined and built up.
