The article: (1) misstates the core-knowledge hypothesis and consequently argues against a straw person; (2) misses replies to prior core-perception accounts, which become undefeated prolepses; and (3) focuses on properties that are common to, not distinctive of, perception and core knowledge. Core knowledge’s “territory in between” still provides guidelines for how we conceive of the mind, its states and processes.
