But the hope for generality is a common sense in every science that could be someway related to human being: just imagine AI, for a simple example, where we can identify a bunch of simple and singular difficult problems (taxonomy, elastic matching, contextualizing and de-contextualizing, language deformation and so on...) but AI researchers are still working to *global conscience* or *digital conscience* projects... I'm involved in Computer Vision research (mostly for industrial quality control) and also I teach Robotics/CV @ University, and the first thing I say when I start the first lesson to the class is: "PLEASE, forget to be human! When you think about your eyes, your mind and your capability to solve a problem, PLEASE, just take examples, not rules. Human capabilities to go deep in a problem and subdivide it in simpler task is a thing we haven't still realized in silicon, so PLEASE, keep it simple and stupid!". I wish someone had listened to my words...at least once! Compliments for your blog and other activities, I'll follow your news more often. Bye. I think you’re right in making such a consideration.
