This struck me as a universal truth: "our general intuition about the difficulty of a problem is often a bad metric for how hard it actually is". I feel like this is the core issue of all engineering, all our careers, and was surprised by the logic leap from that immediately to Moravec's Paradox, from a universal truth to a myopic industry insight. Although I've not done physical robotics, I've done a lot of articulated human animation of independent characters in 3D animation. His insight that motor control is more difficult sets right with me.
