Re:The Chinese Room Argument by TeMPOraL on Saturday January 09, 2016 @10:32AM (#10871537)
The company example is awesome! Thanks for bringing it up. It shows the gist of what's wrong with Chinese Room Argument, but it doesn't sound so abstract. That we should switch to considering the man+book system may not be obvious to someone, but I think anyone living in our civilization will implicitly understand that e.g. no single person in Boeing has enough knowledge to build a 787, and yet the company as a whole knows everything they need to do it.
