When the pager attack happened, there was a implicity sentiment on focusing on the technical details and not focus on politics. But I didn't see the same sentiment when Iran ballistic missles did their job.

There is cantillon effect happening here with respect to trust in govts. media and institutions in general. People are becoming distrustful but slowly. Those who are on internet a lot know about these topics in depth but people farther away take time to adjust to New Reality.

The metaphor I use is we have lot of distinct ideas or topics. Consider them as gold nuggets. Then through these glue sentences we flatten these gold nuggets creating a big foil or fabric which are laid on top of each other and they intermingle. This allows us to remember the same main ideas across multiple scenarios. That's how our brain works most of the time. The stronger match is Hopfield-style associative memory

You are missing the point. Biology is a kludge over billions of years and evolution is a blind process. It had many constraints that are not necessary for modern machines or systems. e.g. a GPU doesn't have to reproduce. Why didn't you drop yourself to planck scale or string theory scale and say we need all that detail to actually get a functioning AI.

If you have a very intelligent swiss army knife like hammer, that hammer will adapt to almost any nail, which is a good thing.
