Yes, relatively simple. Wait, isn't that exactly what the article explained was completely wrong-headed?

No. The article is talking about things we think of as being easy because they are easy for a human to perform but that are actually very difficult to formalize/reproduce artificially.

The person you are responding to is instead comparing differences in biological systems and mechanical systems.
