&quot;We must not fall into anthropomorphic ways of thinking about machines; they do only what their programs say; they can&#x27;t be original or creative.&quot; In debunking this fallacy, I would have thought that the &quot;Computers Are More Flexible Than You Think&quot; argument wold only need to go halfway, and &quot;Brains Are Less Flexible Than We Think&quot; could take us the rest of the way there.  Of course, in 1967 I imagine the support for the second argument was much thinner than it is now.
