The one you are familiar with is the "grandmother version" which doesn't require expertise or strong technical knowledge in any area. I think you should admit, however, (though perhaps what you say above is sufficient) that are choosing to go for a world record in stubbornness rather than to advance your understanding of Bruno's argument. That way trying to convince you to proceed doesn't become a fruitless and perennial activity by members on this list. As it is, it's been almost two years since you understood sufficiently well the point of step 3 to go on to the next step. If you choose to not proceed out of protest then that is something only you can overcome. Now perhaps, as with Searle and computationalism, you are the only genius who can see the error, while none of us is smart enough to see it. However, after many years, you have failed to convince anyone, or bring anyone to your cause. Perhaps it is time to consider the possibility that the error lies elsewhere.
