If evolution can be taken as a successful search through the space of what is possible, language and reason are on the path from curve fitting. But calling this "easy" is far from my point. If evolution is any sort of guide, deep neural network architectures are where the real work is needed before language understanding is possible (contra Pearl, Marcus).
