I'm not cynical. I'm just tired of people making wild claims which inevitably don't pan out. Neural networks are the exact opposite of this. They became popular because people SHOWED that they were useful. The early papers on perceptrons and later feedforward NNs SHOWED that they are capable of solving classification problems at the very least. Those mentioned in my original reply have shown NOTHING for all their grandiose claims about human brains and "thought". If your theory works, then go ahead, IMPLEMENT HUMAN THOUGHT. Until then, stop writing about how you "solved" one of the deepest and most profound mysteries in human history.
