• Herbert Simon named and dismissed perceptron research, citing Rosenblatt 1958, as a negative case in his 1983 chapter "Why Should Machines Learn?"

• Simon argued twice (1993, 1995) that connectionist neural networks qualify as physical symbol systems under his own definition, rather than counterexamples refuting the hypothesis

• Simon's two engagements with connectionism — dismissing perceptron learning empirically (1983) and later redefining connectionist nets as symbol systems (1993, 1995) — share a pattern distinct from refutation or endorsement: absorption

• Simon's own account of expert intuition diagnoses the Minsky–Papert sterility conjecture as confident judgment in a low-validity environment — a shared epistemic structure, not documented influence

• Herbert Simon's satisficing (economics) and heuristic search (GPS/AI) are the same 'good-enough over optimal' move, applied by one person to humans and to machines
