As if that's what humans do! Humans may be able to do "analogical reasoning" (using knowledge from one field of expertise in a different field) - but so can computers. Sherlock Holmes is supposed to do "Deductive Reasoning", but in EVERY INSTANCE I have looked at where he make progress on a case, he CLEARLY uses ABDUCTIVE reasoning, not "DEDUCTIVE" reasoning. Abductive reasing in AI is represented by a rules-based system, or "expert system". You must know that throughout history, progress (in science/technology/historical analysis etc) has been blocked because those who support the prevailing doctrines hold the positions of power which can block the progress of those who see a better doctrine. These blockages often do not clear until the current gatekeepers of the doctrines die. If you still disagree with me, then here's your challenge: come up with an example of human intelligent behaviour that computers absolutely cannot do. I don't think you'll be able to. You will easily find things that humans do better than computers TODAY - but then we used to be able to beat them at chess... -g
