The equation example was simply an illustration.
The point I'm making is that I can quite clearly show output that demonstrates reasoning and understanding by any actual metric. That's not the problem. The problem is that when I do, the argument Quickly shifts to "it's not real understanding!".
That is what is nonsensical here. It's actually nonsensical whatever domain you want to think about it in.
Either your dog fetches what you throw at it or it doesn't. The idea of "pretend fetching" as any meaningful distinction is incredibly silly and makes no sense.
If you want to tell me there's a special distinction cool but when you can't show me what that distinction is, how to test for it, the qualitative or quantitative differences then I'm going to throw your argument away because it's not a valid one. It's just an arbitrary line drawn on sand.
