A friend of mine awoke from a coma a month before he could move or speak. He could hear the nurses, they thought he was a vegetable.

Are you saying the nurses were right? Without the ability to move, he wasn't actually intelligent?

Edit: I see your edit now, sure I like your restatement "simulation has a big role to play as imagination and plan testing"

You edited your comment after I replied. I am sorry about your friend, I hope they are better.

I am not saying that at all. Daniel Dennet is better placed to speculate on matters like that.

[/edit] perhaps there is some common ground. Brooks' Behaviour-Based position, though useful at the time, threw out the symbolic AI with the bathwater of computational complexity that robotics was quagmired in then.
