Actually, this says much more than that. I claim that your examples of a
pattern-brain functioning are faulty because it includes causal-brains as
part of the explanation of how the pattern-brain functions. Your own
explanation for how a pattern-brain works includes regular human causal
brains running the experiment. If you could device a theoretical way that a
pattern brain could function on its own without a causal-brain being
involved, it would sure help your claim.
