Chomsky and the Two Cultures of Statistical Learning

intalentive

This essay is missing the words “cause” and “causal”. There is a difference between discovering causes and fitting curves. The search for causes guides the design of experiments, and with luck, the derivation of formulae that describe the causes. Norvig seems to be confusing the map (data, models) for the territory (causal reality).

Are you implying Norvig is a victim or otherwise not responsible for their choices and actions?
