Swampman

Swampman is the subject of a philosophical thought experiment... - Wiki

Davidson holds that there would nevertheless be a difference, though no one would notice it. Swampman will appear to recognize Davidson's friends, but it is impossible for him to actually recognize them, as he has never seen them before. As Davidson puts it, "It can't recognize anything, because it never cognized anything in the first place."

глупости какие. еще один пример того, что называют muddy thinking. для начала ему не мешало бы определить cognition, но он отвлекся и забыл.
