hence why in my opinion it's called reverse engineering. Because goal is to (re) build original item.
yes, a lot of modelling contains within it engineering principles. Especially in my case software eng principles.

But the overarching goal is not as it would be if you reverse eng'ed a radio to eventually be able to create radios.
-
AI and robotics which are heavily into engineering (incl rev eng) would be aiming to build a brain, cogsci isn't imho.
-
but this is my *opinion* and not some kind of prescriptive rule which is what I think you think I am pushing. I'm more
-
than aware that enough modellers in cogsci do think of it as rev eng and do want to build a brain.

you said "understanding" was important for modelling, but it's crucially important for reverse engineering too.

I never said these things don't overlap. I feel like this has devolved into a game of gotcha.
