Heuristic search is inconsistent with human phenomenology
Human experts play chess by "zeroing in" on relevant moves in fringe consiciousness rather than by iterating through a list of possiblities.
Hubert Dreyfus (1996).

Note: Dreyfus uses similar considerations to dispute machine translation, natural language understanding, and pattern recognition, which also require fringe consciousness and zeroing in.
