The violent reaction to the Chinese Room argument always startles me. There are a lot of people who deeply, really hate Searle for coming up with it.

The field has been advanced a lot by responding to the Chinese Room problem!

In what ways? Responding to it appears to me to be a distraction from real work, just the same as responding to other obvious fallacies.

It's just annoying if a wrong argument keeps cropping up.
