If the visual cortex were a machine model, people would be complaining about how we can't explain it and how it's a dangerous black box. They'd probably tout the many optical illusions as demonstrations of this danger.

Yet we don't demand that other humans explain how their visual cortex work. There is a double standard here.

I do not approve of the red herring. Either it is visual cortex, or the intelligence and decision making/planning. One works very differently from the other.
