We disagree with Rahnev & Denison (R&D) that optimality should be abandoned altogether. Rather, we argue that adopting a normative approach enables researchers to test hypotheses about the brain's computational goals, avoids just-so explanations, and offers insights into function that are simply inaccessible to the alternatives proposed by R&D.
我们不同意 Rahnev 和 Denison（R&D）的观点，即完全放弃最优化。相反，我们认为，采用规范方法可以使研究人员能够检验关于大脑计算目标的假设，避免仅仅是为了说明而解释，并且为功能提供了洞察力，而这些洞察力是 R&D 提出的替代方案根本无法获得的。
