Clearly not, then, and we're right back were we started. With you demonstrating that you still don't understand a stolen concept despite much effort being wasted on you.
Understanding a stolen concept is in no way shape or form an issue of understanding cognitive science or the contents of cognitive science. It's not an argument about the contents of cognitive science, either. It's the simple requirement of a valid form to any logical proposition or argument. You cannot assert and thus require the truth of what you would simultaneously seek to disprove.
Nothing even, to do with me, let alone what I do or don't know. It's you, your choice of statements, your call. Always has been, and it's always been simple to fix. We observe voltage by observing correlates, we observe temperature by observing correlates, we observe -everything- by observing correlates. You either think we can do this, or you think we can't, but you can't validly state both claims at once, let alone in the same sentence, as you did. Accepting that we can observe the correlates of consciousness saddles you with the genetic validity of those semantics and that method.
You don't want to be saddled with this, because, in truth, you do not actually believe it, and object to science having any ability to observe consciousness whatsoever. But the saddle, unfortunately, is very valuable. Keeps you from sounding like the feckless troll of a crank that you are. Or at least you think it does..... even though that hasn't quite worked out here on the boards. So you're going to lug it all the way to the grave, I suspect.
