The comment is true, but to say it makes his statement false isn't accurate, because how are brain processes something can depend on how we feel about it and our chosen response. In other words, you're trying to disqualify one part of the process that can affect other parts of it. Two people can experience the same stimuli, have different feelings about it, and their brain may process it completely differently. Example: One person can like what the president said and feel confident or another person can disagree and feel distress, or even feel like it's an attempt at betrayal. Maybe it's something to do with taxes and one person is getting the short end of the stick. Well you might see anger. Maybe they're saving money. They might feel happy and relieved. What applies to one person doesn't necessarily apply to others. I'm guessing Agnostico probably is more left-brained in his approach to life. I couldn't say the same about myself, as I favor the right hemisphere. It doesn't mean you don't use both, but the capacity we use both is different.
Actually the point flew right over your head. Science knows how brains process. OF COURSE they "feel" differently. Those feelings are processed in known parts of the brain.
A process being the same (OBVIOULSY with different inputs) OBVIOULSY will produce different outcomes. Other than being Mr. Obvious, you comment is ignorant and quite useless.
Beliefs and emotion are NOT processed in the same parts of the brain.

And you are full of something...
The same stimuli aren't necessarily going to cause the same reaction is different people. Like your nonsense is the equivalent of piece of chalk falling to the floor, but in your mind you're probably dancing around like you said something important. I'm feeling *yawn* a sense of disappointment in how you are trying to fluff your argument while you are probably having a dance party in your brain, feeling like you told me something that held weight as an objection. The point wasn't that we "don't know" where the brain processes things, because we do, but that it didn't invalidate his point. So your conclusion led to B, which was correct, but not C.
