>I think the biggest problem with CRA and even Dneprov's game is that it's not clear what the "positive conception" (Searle probably elaborates in some other books or papers) of understanding should be. They are just quick to quip "well, that doesn't seem like understanding, that doesn't seem to possess intentionality and so on so forth" but doesn't elaborate what they think exactly possessing understanding and intentionality is like so that we can evaluate if that's missing.

Well put, I agree.
