Please don't overuse the concept "absolute denial macro". This refers to inability to notice your left arm is paralyzed. You're talking about strictly ordinary denial.
I was trying to use it in roughly the same sense that taw was in the post I linked to. Upon reflection, yes, it's silly in this context.
I'm uncomfortable with the reification of an "absolute denial macro", period. I think the observed behavior is more likely to be the product of a damage-induced cognitive deficit rather than some macro-like subroutine that gets activated inappropriately.
