Reason for the nitpicking is, that for me - as a trained mathematician - and seemingly some other commenters, the gap between linearity and non-linearity is yet inside mathematics quite substantial. This is true also in general. Non-lineari

Without non-linearity you are mathematically provable not able to get solutions for most contemporary problems. Refusing the general AI hype bullshit and over-simplifying the hard foundations are quite different things, IMO.
