[this is a response to ucbjade!KVQJ's note on common sense. ]

  The flaw in Searle's Chinese Room Experiment is that he gets bogged down
in considering the demon to be doing the "understanding" rather than the
formal rule system itself.  And of course it is absurd to claim that the
demon is understanding anything -- just as it is absurd to claim that the
individual neurons in your brain are understanding anything.
