Sergey, Can you put it in context - show how the contrary opinions actually demonstrate computational viability - and not just someone's opinions? Show how the challenging theories have a computational model which illustrates a more efficient likelihood of prediction accuracy? Because If all the challenging theories do is propose a theory, then how is it a contribution considering HTM theory yields actual results.
So personally I'm not interested unless the theory can demonstrate an increase in cognitive resolution. But that's just me...
