Yes, so I'm left wondering, when making the association of the math to the badness, how do you decide if the linearity or the non-linearity is the salient part?

Mathematically, you can think of "linear" AI problems as "easy to solve", and non-linear as "difficult". That's part of what the parent means.

Some function being linear means it's easier to guess. If a real world phenomenon is tied to a linear function, then it's easy for AI to guess/approximate.
