Creativity, imagination and intelligence are some of those words that 
nobody really agrees on. They are clouds of impressions of hardly 
definable phenomena. I tend to avoid using those words like one would 
avoid Pandora's can of worms. OTOH they're often hard to avoid.

But the word « simplicity » might be even more complex to deal with. (?)

Is it just my impression, that a real hardened cognitive scientist would 
have already questioned all they think they know (or what anyone else 
thinks they know) before even getting to that book ?

Artificial Intelligence's trickiest task was always to define what they 
mean by « Intelligence » in their field's title ;)
