The argument that cumulative technological culture originates in technical-reasoning skills is not the only alternative to social accounts; another possibility is that accumulation of both technical-reasoning skills and enhanced social skills stemmed from the onset of a more basic cognitive ability such as recursive representational redescription. The paper confuses individual learning of pre-existing information with creative generation of new information.
认为技术文化的累积起源于技术推理技能的观点，并非社会解释的唯一选择；另一种可能性是，技术推理技能和增强的社交技能的累积，源自于递归表象重述等更基本认知能力的出现。该论文将对已有信息的个体学习与新信息的创造性生成相混淆。
