Searle's Chinese room thought experiment was a philosophical musing that was controversial at best in its day. I believe linguists and cognitive scientists would agree that the strong form of Searle's idea is dead, and now the questions about the relationship between form and meaning are much more interesting.
I know you're not going to read a bunch of links supporting that conclusion. But if you don't think the Chinese room idea is dead, why not?
Isn't this Searle's Chinese room experiment? I thought the conclusion is that they're separate things, no?

Oh, no, on the contrary. Send me those links. I love updating my loosely held priors.
