I concur that it is good enough for us to be able to do many things with
ease (pattern recognition of predators and prey, language acquisition) and
to find work-arounds for those things that are very hard (deductive
reasoning, mathematical computation - which we already augment heavily
with calculators and computers). So, I wouldn't say it's "low" grade. But
there is clearly much that can be improved.
Cheers,
