ChurchlandVsSearle: then you can refute Maxwell’s electromagnetism: a man swung a bar magnet: then it generates electromagnetic waves, but there is no light. It is wrong to conclude, therefore light would not be electromagnetic waves. Extrapolation: then at higher frequencies there would be no light. Analogy: Searle has slowed down computing so that you do not take it anymore as understanding. Pinker: if someone used all of the rules from the translation manual applying them in a matter of seconds, we would not say that he could not speak Chinese.
