I agree.

It is "which word sequences are good ones".

I disagree.  Humans build maps of reality.
They're called scientific theories.

It's an optimization problem with no
one-and-unique solution.

So, yes, it IS an optimization problem
because it is an ongoing process of devising
better maps.
Some maps are bad right out of the gate, some
maps are good, some maps are better.
Unintelligent humans build bad maps, as
demonstrated by many posters to this
discussion group.
