Um, there’s like 300(0) years of research on this, and, really, it isn’t anything like this simple. For “recent” science you can start on volume 1 of the jep journal of learning and memory, which is like 50+ years of continuous monthly publication.
Yeah some simplification is required to condense 300(0) years of research into a digestible article but is any of it misleadingly incorrect?
“Some simplification”, even if it is technically correct can be misleadingly incorrect in the sense that it misleads you into thinking that the object of analysis is simple, which is incorrect. Analogous example: A computer is a machine that you stick numbers into, and it does stuff to them, and other numbers come out. But you can only put in a limited number of numbers because it can only do stuff to a handful of them at a time. The rest need to get saved someplace else, called RAM. So machine learning is RAM lookup. Is that misleadingly incorrect in the sense I described?
