Reminds me of this passage from Douglas Hofstadter's GEB:
Loocas the Thinker comes across an unknown object--a woman. ... "Behold! I can look upon her face, which is something she cannot do--therefore women can never be like me!"
And thus he proves man's superiority over women, much to his relief ... The woman argues back: "Yes, you can see my face, which is something I can't do--but I can see your face, which is something you can't do! We're even."
"I'm sorry, you're deluded if you think you can see my face. What you women do is not the same as what we men do--it is, as I have already pointed out, of an inferior caliber, and does not deserve to be called by the same name. You may call it 'womanseeing'. Now the fact that you can womansee my face is of no import, because the situation is not symmetric. You see?"
"I woman-see," womanreplies the woman, and womanwalks away . . .
If I remember correctly, people used to criticize IBM's Deep Blue for not being "real" AI because it just basically brute-forced a ton of possible play paths in the chess game. Someone then said: "Saying that Deep Blue doesn't really think is like saying an airplane doesn't really fly because it doesn't flap its wings."
