Evidence open to different explanation
The inductive evidence interpretation assumes that passing the test should be explained in terms of thinking, but a mechanical interpretation—in terms of the computer's structure, program and physical environment—offers a better explanation.
The inductive evidence interpretation assumes that a computer's passing the Turing test should be explained in terms of its thinking.

But, thinking is not the best explanation of a computer's ability to pass the test.

A better explanation is a mechanical one, in terms of the structure of the computer, its program and its physical environment.

Douglas Stalker, 1978.
