The yes/no Democratic take on Digestion and the more nuanced kind

The Democratic mode of  solving elaborate equations is the kid of ye/no type answer demanded by Kamila Harris, however if on wanted to take  the pessimistic view that the visual system often   cheats, ie it uses rules of thumb, short-cuts, and clever sleight of-hand tricks that were acquired by trial and error through millions of years of natural selection. 

The Democrat yes/no, a  familiar strategy, yet  for some reason it seems to have escaped their notice of that the brain is a biological organ just like the pancreas, the liver, or any other specialized organ.

 The digestion of food, for example, is not brought about by  binary yes/no computation, or by intelligent deduction, nor even by resonance. 

The digestive system uses an arbitrary set of special-purpose tricks (eg mastication, peristalsis, sequential cleavage by enzymes, specific satiety signals, etc) that, peristalsis, sequential cleavage by enzymes, specific satiety signals, etc) that are tailor made for achieving a step-by-step denudation of food into easily absorbed constituents.

Harris, did you see it or didn't you?' It may not be too far fetched to suggest that the visual system also uses an equally bewildering array of special-purpose tailor-made tricks and rules of thumb to solve its problems 

Ultimately, the best way to resolve some of these issues may be actually to open the black box in order to study the responses of nerve cells, but Democrats are  and  very suspicious of this 'black box' approach
