Degree in philosophy, and ... used to read this sort of stuff for fun 30 years ago. Now... it's just like Mary seeing red; "ho-hum". I remember reading some Churchland years ago - I may have even read some of this back and forth exchange in some class years ago. I sense that this is more an issue of language than ideas, and people talking past each other. When it happens in the moment - face to face, perhaps - it's... at least interesting. You can at least try to determine if people are misusing language/ideas, and rectify it in the moment. You can't do that with papers like this. It feels like reading a Gish gallop.
