• Does Anderson (1990) himself define rational analysis as optimal adaptation to the environment, and is it his or a later reading that equates it with Marr's computational level?

• Anderson traces rational analysis's lineage to Brunswik and Gibson, then Marr and Shepard, before naming it his own

• Chater & Oaksford (1999) list integration with Marr's computational level as an unresolved 'outstanding question' for rational analysis, eight years after Anderson made the equation
