It was mistaken of me to let Michael Zeleny get away with using
my not answering one of his questions (because I didn't understand it)
as an excuse for not offering specific arguments against Dennett.
Dennett's arguments for Dennett's positions can stand up by themselves
and don't require supplements from me.
