The paper by Sacks and Doyle that is the focus of this debate resembles previous papers by Cheeseman and McDermott, leaping from the observation that a specific application of some AI technology is unable to solve a problem to the conclusion that the technology itself is of limited value. We argue that claims such as this should be made more cautiously in the future, and make constructive suggestions about future qualitative physics research based on Sacks and Doyle's results.
