The Dreyfuses' emphasis on typical experiences has two inadequacies
that would be apparent if one tried to base AI on it, and which
will presumably become apparent when an adequate analysis of
human intelligence becomes possible.

1. They provide no way of combining experiences.  To do so
amounts to logic.

2. They ignore the fact that human communication is primarily
in terms of declaratives.

	We pass without discussion the difficulties of determining
what's typical about an experience, because they handwave this
away with babble about holism.
