thanks, I hadn't seen this book yet! I have lots of thoughts on this actually, let's chat one day :) (short answer, I don't think it is a counter-example per se, but I think it's real interesting nonetheless)

Check out this paper that I completely agree with: @marcartiga.bsky.social, @peterschulte.bsky.social & Nir Fresco argue against @harrif.bsky.social and Justin Garson's thesis that proper functions must be proximal functions.
