Coz we simply don't understand how we understand, period.

  So we shouldn't discuss it or try to understand it at all?

    Where did you get that? You don't know you don't know. It's not going to sell if you literally say I don't know what we're doing...

      I'm a different person than you replied to, but I agree with them. Your previous reply was to: > Why would we try to answer that question without discussing how humans think? And by replying to that with > Coz we simply don't understand how we understand, period. Well, when we don't understand how we understand, that is exactly when we should be discussing how humans think. Or at least how we think we think. And the bat and a ball example relates to research about how we think we think. So yeah, your reply definitely comes across as saying the first half, "So we shouldn't discuss it", while finishing it with "period" also suggests "or try to understand it at all".
