As someone who was familiar with the differences between Chomsky and Norvig (a simplification - maybe better to say Chomsky's view that developing empirical models is not scientifically interesting), I found this really enriched my understanding of Chomsky's view and gave me a lot of subtlety. He certainly doesn't seem antagonistic towards statistic modeling the way I imagined; just sort of bored by it. Be sure to persist to the end - there are some fun word games on the final page.
