I don’t think NancyLebovitz means “cheap” in the material resources sense. The idea of finding the “key” to general intelligence is cheap, as is any other idea. The expertise to execute correctly is the expensive part. Is there a cheaper way to go about gathering the ability to do it, or a way to do it for which the ability is cheaper to garner? Whole brain emulation may be an example of the latter.
