Is it really? With the notable couragous exception of Penrose I don't
know people who object to comp.
Of course someone like Searle could gives the feeling that he dislike
comp, but its own reasoning, if you read it carefully, proves that he
accept comp, albeit only for low substitution level unlike most
"functionalist".
Now as you know comp is my working hypothesis so this is for me just a
bit out of my topic. Remember that for postulating "not-comp" you have
to introduce high infinities in the third person description of the
brain/body. In particular you have to abandon QM, or any theory ever
proposed in physics and cognitive science.
