as i took a walk this afternoon it occurred to me that once one considers black box emulation a solved problem (say, machine learning were so advanced that we could efficiently optimize against any error metric), then the next problem becomes design of the error metric itself, which is like...
"oh shit, i can't optimize the metric because for that i would need a error metric error metric..."
