What's wrong with statistically likely? If I ask you what's 2+2, there's a single answer I consider much more likely than others. Sometimes, words are likely because they are grounded in ideas and facts they represent. | ||

I think the failure modes of a statistical model of a communicative model of thought are unintuitive enough without any added layers of anthropomorphization, so there remains some value in pointing it out. | ||
