I see what you’re getting at, viz the inconsistency around ‘aided’. However, as it seems that an ‘unaided’ mind will behave anything like ideally I don’t think I’d agree that the inconsistency exists in fact. Isn’t the ‘aid’ here a software package built up by a culture in light of the systematising ideas, and which gets sold on the basis of the mountain of evidence it explains?
