I find these kinds of gotchas trivial and tiresome. Do we “understand” gravity? Magnetism? Other people? No. We have models. Some are predictive and/or useful.

I find these kinds of gotchas trivial and tiresome. Do we “understand” gravity? Magnetism? Other people? No. We have models. Some are predictive and/or useful. We aren’t Turing machines. We don’t observe nature directly — that’s why optical illusions work. Let’s figure out more about how these things work iterate and improve.
