text_A: Searle argues that his critics are also relying on intuitions, however his opponents' intuitions have empirical basis. He writes that, in order to consider the "system reply" as remotely plausible, a person must be "under the grip of an ideology". The system reply only makes sense (to Searle) if one assumes that any "system" can have consciousness, just by virtue of being a system with the right behavior and functional parts. This assumption, he argues, is not tenable given our experience of consciousness.
text_B: Does Searle's opponent have a valid stance?
YES.
