I think that your message was really addressed to Minsky, who
already replied.

I also think that the most one can hope for are confirmations of
"partial theories" relating, respectively, to various aspects
underlying phenomena of "intelligence".  Note that I say
"phenomena" (plural).  Namely, we may have on our hands a broad
spectrum of "intelligences", each one of which the manifestation
of somewhat *different* mix of underlying ingredients.  In fact,
for some time now I feel that AI should really stand for the
study of Artificial Intelligences (plural) and not merely
Artificial Intelligence (singular).
