Agree 100% re team sizes.

Agree 100% re independence.

But disagree (respectfully) re progress on the debates.

We know that it's not "innate vs learned", but rather, an innate structure that is modified through learning in very complex (and actually relatively well understood [in some cases - such as corticothalamus, entorhinal-hippocampus, basal ganglia]).

We know that it's not spikes vs rates, but rather "how much can it shift and not matter".

On the cognitivism side, it's pretty well settled - cognitive wins! We have opened the black box and can see inside. We really can "read rat's minds and listen to their dreams". (And we can read human dreams too.) [To a limited extent.]

We've made tremendous progress over the last 100 years.

Importantly, I think that tremendous progress was made, in large part, because of small R01s, not big P-center grants, so yes, agree 100% re teams.
