Bad-Mouthing Frames

It appears that many people in the AI/psycholinguistics community are like my old friend (in California) who said: "How can I understand something unless I believe it for a while." This seems to me to indicate the role of "paradigms" such as "frames" in the study of thought. Since I do not, myself, work that way and also do not (despite years of the New York Review) function well as a critic of scientific developments, I will limit myself to three rather concrete sets of remarks. These concern vision, interactions with the world and net models in the context of "frames".
