### Do you acknowledge that your answer to Jason's post was incorrect?

Your claim that the substitution scenario would only be true if neurons
were acting as logical gates is logically incorrect. If you refuse to
acknowledge and withdraw your claim, it would be impossible to continue a
discussion, since discussions where logically untrue statements are made
are not worth having.

If you specifically answer a challenge question, and your answer is
logically incorrect, you don't get to weasel out of it by saying "we're
still talking about completely different things".

Also, it's pretty arrogant to say that what "redness" must be has nothing
to do with what I am talking about. Don't tell me you have a justified
belief that would let you say it "must" be as you say, and don't tell me I
don't know what I am talking about.
