Let us also note that his "model" makes no predictions.  None at all.

It is false to fact in general, woefully inadequate in every respect wherin it is not false.
It abuses the term "learn" and irs variants in ways starkly contradictory to the standard usage in Cognitive Science.
It lacks any shred of explanatory power.  This, in conjunction with its inability to make predictions, renders it a work of fiction, not science.
Unpublishably bad fiction at that.

His claim that his model predicts the Cambrian Explosion is one of the funniest things ever.

You should not be teaching science.

The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.
