The integrity of my rubik's cube analogy isn't critical to my argument, but...

Even allowing for equivalent rotations as you mention, the method humans use to unscramble a rubik's cube is far far from optimal because we can't grok a scrambled rubik's cube then just execute the optimal solution.

Also this is just pedantry because WLOG you could just name those equivalent 180 rotations as a single operation anyway.

That isnt true insofar as there are decisions that are based on arbitrary perception and categorization. What you could do is irrelevant because that is an assumption to create a generalization. GL with whatever.
