I don't want to jump to conclusions, but saying That's the philosophical point that most people studying the functional nature of the brain don't understand.
seems like it may be an over-generalization and misrepresentation. I'm saying this purely from anecdotal evidence, but it seems to me that people studying the functional nature of the brain are likely - in most cases - extremely bright people with rigorous academic backgrounds. It seems unlikely that they'd simply 'not understand' something so relevant to their study. Am I incorrect in thinking this?
