Yes, I would also like to see a more rigorous examination of better steering methods. This post was intended to point out the smoke, rather than actually fight the fire.
If we actually can make better steering methods as we go (we might call this “pants steering”) then this is good, but it changes the dynamic to one where the success of this system relies on being able to keep finding better and better steering methods, and also putting in the effort to do so. This is a worse dynamic to be in than one where we’ve “solved” steering and can spend our time working on other problems.
