Conditioned vs. learned, compared against "the ability to think".

I see what you mean about semantics. This is a very interesting topic, but I hope I can learn to distinguish the differences between the appearance of rudimentary reasoning, and conditioned responses, because right now I'm not sure I can put a fine enough point on my pencil to separate the two.

Good stuff.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
