Oh wow, I read this story as evidence that neural nets are not the future back when I was an undergrad studying machine learning. Maybe I should have followed my instincts back then because even then neural nets seemed intuitively very interesting even if the statistics and math professors hated them because they weren't derived from any first principals.
