It is a tool for other arguments. No one actually considers it real. Hence, "ad absurdum".

As for the other comment about emergent complexity...sure. I believe I stated what is the dominant, and best supported, school of thought. But it almost certainly isn't the only one. Not a neuroscientist, so mostly know what I've read on that topic. If it were a definitive issue, all the neuroscientists would have to look for other jobs. :-) (Actually, I'm sure they have other aspects to research and debate.)
