Why it matters

Identifies functional substitution as the barrier to intent-level imitation, moving evaluation beyond trajectory replay toward task understanding.

Motivation

Humans imitate at the level of intent: given a demonstration, we infer its goal and carry it out with whatever tools, objects, and layouts are at hand.
