The Chinese room confusion shows how effective our deepest biases are at directing our rational thought into whatever level of nonsense you can put up with. A similar case I noticed is the resistance against the Everett interpretation of the quantum measurement problem (i.e. the wave function collapse). For some people, it's so hard to accept the consequences of your own consciousness being an emergent phenomenon of matter that interacts with other matter and thus it partakes in the very fundamental effects of such interactions, including entanglement.
