The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

Antonio, science is science. Professor Stolfi is making falsifiable predictions. We can all run models and understand his code and draw conclusions on whether the numbers stack up, agnostic of any back story.

He can fight his own battles I'm sure, and I'm certainly not advocating an argument from authority, but if you want your own ideas to be taken seriously, perhaps some mutual respect might be advised.
