The CRA illustrates that EVEN IF the CPU or the system as a whole had
consciousness and intentionality and all the good things that you and I
have, including billions of powerful interconnected brain cells, an
English education, and a genuine desire to understand Chinese, it STILL
would not understand Chinese from manipulating symbols according to
syntactical rules.

doesn't get it.
