I don’t misclassify every 1 in 1000 objects I see in daily life
Perhaps this is too nitpicky about semantics, but when I tried to evaluate the plausibility of this claim I came into a bit of an impasse.
You’re supposing that there is a single natural category for each object you see (and buries even the definition of an object, which isn’t obvious to me). I’d agree that you probably classify a given thing the same way >99.9% of the time. However, what would the inter-rater reliability be for these classifications? Are those classifications actually “correct” in a natural sense?
