The debate on cumulative technological culture (CTC) is dominated by social-learning discussions, at the expense of other cognitive processes, leading to flawed circular arguments. I welcome the authors' approach to decouple CTC from social-learning processes without minimizing their impact. Yet, this model will only be informative to understand the evolution of CTC if tested in other cultural species.

累积技术文化的认知方法是有用和必要的，但前提是它也适用于其他物种

关于累积技术文化（CTC）的辩论以社会学习讨论为主，以牺牲其他认知过程为代价，导致有缺陷的循环论证。我欢迎作者将 CTC 与社会学习过程脱钩而不最小化其影响的方法。然而，如果在其他文化物种中进行测试，该模型只会为了解 CTC 的演变提供信息。
