> You can check for yourself by reading the argument, following its reasoning, and seeing that it is false; and reading the systems reply, following its reasoning, and seeing that it's true

You are being tedious. I obviously have done this and I disagree with you. Saying that X is logically true and Y is logically false is not a demonstration of those baseless assertions. This is not helpful, what you're saying isn't true, and what I'm saying is backed up by the wikipedia article. The bit you quote is simply stating that most literature about the Chinese Room is an attempt to refute it, which is obvious, because the people who are convinced see no need to publish saying so. The fact that people keep publishing means that they have not yet succeeded in refuting it.

Or I can simply say this: you've made a mistake in your logic. Actually, the Chinese Room argument is correct. Since you won't explicate your logic, neither will I.

Have a good day.
