":I have deleted the 'hard to take seriously' line. It's not neutral POV as written. It would be great if someone would add a paragraph summarizing Ned Block's criticism in the Criticism section (he's the cited source of 'hard to take seriously.' I tried to find the original article in my library but can't. I also deleted the 2nd vague criticism, but moved the citation (Dennett) elsewhere in the article. I'm also going to delete the phrase near the start of the criticism section which says that Jaynes' theory hasn't been discussed by mainstream academics. Clearly, with the references attached to this page, that is just plain wrong.
