Robin, I’d be interested, but I’d ask whether you’ve discussed this particular issue with Jones before. (I.e., the same reason I don’t cite Peter Cheeseman as support for e.g. the idea that general AI mostly doesn’t work if you don’t have all the parts, and then undergoes something like a chimp->human transition as soon as all the parts are in place. So far as I can tell, Cheeseman had this idea before I met him; but he still wouldn’t be an unbiased choice of referee, because I already know many of his opinions and have explicitly contaminated him on some points.)
