I am too tired to cite claims right now, but Carlos you are absolutely and
completely uniformed on this matter..
There is a long history in psychology of the study of subconscious problem
solving (sometimes called "insight"). Modern works place heavy emphasis on
subconscious processing. This has been a major factor in my own scientific
publications on the matter (both in the days when I published in the major,
peer-reviewed journals and today when i publish trade books). Dave
Rumelhart published deep analyses of the role of subconscious
and conscious mechanisms while he was inventing and developing neural
networks (connectionism or parallel-distributed processing). (Alas, Dave
has died.)
Kahneman's "Fast" processing is subconscious processing. (I scolded him for
calling them system 1 and 2, because i can never remember which is which. I
asked him why he didn't just call it conscious and sub-conscious. His wife,
Ann Triesman (who was an even more famous psychologist than
Danny, winner of the Presidents medal (the US President), until Danny got
the Nobel) laughed and said that she had tried and failed to convince him.
So, you are wrong. It is widely accepted by scientists in the filed.
Note, nothing is every established in science. It is not possible to prove
hypotheses -- it is only possible to disprove them. But when something has
passed many years of attempts to disprove it, it becomes widely accepted.
