Has in fact proposed (for a profoundly half-arsed value of "proposed") a
test that specifically and by design *can't* be carried out by a human.
Presumably he means (for a deeply half-arsed value of "means") that he has
a machine that can instantiate the process Searle described: a Vast look-up
table and interface able to respond intelligibly in real time to human
attempts at communication--the most debased form of Turing test.
