You're right, I didn't have a point. I just wanted to share an interesting article rather than start a debate. Maybe it would have been nice to discuss the necessary and sufficient conditions for consciousness suggested by the article or the medical ethics of terminating people with severely compromised brains.

"Fine," as in, fine, you've made your nitpick. "Whatever," as in I don't care because the topic of the article is more interesting than whether I got some detail or definition wrong in the thread title.
