<p>This is just the Chinese room argument applied to the Chomsky vs Norvig debate, maybe with a dash of the hard problem of consciousness. Whether consciousness is inherent in particular structures or whether a statistical modeling can achieve it. Does the experience of experience deserve special pleading or would the simulation suffice?

<p>I use a similar but simpler technique to cook eggs to a runny soft boiled by cracking eggs directly into a small quantity of boiling water. This sets the whites quickly but drops the temperature of the water before it can set the yolks. It's kind of like lazy poaching.</p>

<p>This is the etymology of computer logs.
Captain's log is short for logbook<p>> The book so called because it recorded the speed measurements made by means of a weighted chip of a tree log on the end of a reeled log line (typically 150 to 200 fathoms). The log lay dead in the water, and sailors counted the time it took the line to play out. The line was marked by different numbers of knots, or colored rags, tied at regular intervals; hence the nautical measurement sense of knot<p><a href="https://www.etymonline.com/word/log#etymonline_v_43590" rel="nofollow">https://www.etymonline.com/word/log#etymonline_v_43590</a></p>
