Do you have some other proposal? What evidence would you refer to in order to make that case?
I haven't come across model based control before; the only thing I can find by googling is model-based design. Can you give me a quick summary of it, or link me to a review article if there is one?

I don't know what Johnism is, or why it can't account for vision without consciousness (I would refer proponents of Johnism to look at things such as blind-sight), but Johnism seems irrelevant when it comes to evolution accounting for the things I've already mentioned.
