Right. And, reconsidering, I'd say don't even bother with the "explained".
Reconsidered is a much clearer and more honest exegesis of the matter.
Dennett "answers" more directly the questions posed by the original poster
and sets some context for Flanagan, but I think the latter has his head
screwed on a little tighter.
