I don't know about this specific case; I was only taking issue with the idea of pure falsificationism to distinguish science from pseudo-science. There are other demarcations (listed in the SEP article linked a few comments ago) which may also list the computational theory of mind as pseudo-scientific, but not just because it's unfalsifiable (if it really is).


I just use falsifiability as a necessary condition, not a sufficient condition.
