The Internalisation Reply
Suppose the man in the Room memorizes the rule book and all the symbols and does the matching in his head not on paper. He incorporates the entire Room system, but still doesn't understand Chinese. So the whole system doesn't understand Chinese.
John Searle 1980a, 1980b & 1990b.
