Misunderstands the sense of "right causal powers"
Searle just claims that there is some set of causal powers (brain-based or otherwise) that is necessary for understanding & that formal computer programs lack that set of causal powers.
Searle doesn't claim that anything producing intentionality must be equivalent to a brain.

Karl Pfeifer, 1992.
