My biggest null hypothesis is that probably half of humans contain “Markov chain not intelligence”. We don’t notice it among engineers, but most humans don’t reason with causal chains but by doing parallels, and they simulate reasonings in a somewhat convincing way. It becomes flagrant in front of a matt exam, a lot of people study a lot but never comprehend maths.

I also often tear my hair when I invite a developer for a programming interview, and they can’t write an if/then/else or string.contains(), despite perfectly simulating answers of advanced developers (which accurately mimic field experts).
