Or, Language behavior can be made to look more complex than it is.

To quote from "The Blank Slate" by Steven Pinker:
Chpt4 Culture Vultures:

".. the robot has to be equipped with an ability
to see into the mind of the person being imitated,
so that it can infer the person's goals and pick
out the aspects of behavior that the person
intended to achieve the goal."

It's true that people can do this. But it's also true that behavior like
that is easilly explained in terms of reinforcement learning. All langauge
behavior is easilly explained in terms of reinforcement learning.
