Systematicity is a conceptual not empirical law
Systematicity fails to argue against the empirical hypotheses of the connectionist architecture,  because it's a conceptual law that deals with holistic thought ascriptions rather than with in-the-head thought processes.
That is, systematicity tells about how we judge whether other people are thinking; it does not tell us about what is going on inside their heads.

Andy Clark, 1991.
