Agreed that modeling human knowledge as a NASC-list is different from asserting that human brains represent beliefs via NASC-lists.

I am insufficiently versed in academic philosophy to be entitled to an opinion as to whether modern philosophers who do conceptual analysis are doing the former or the latter.

Agreed that if modern philosophers as a rule don't actually do the latter, then arguing that they're misguided for doing so is at best a waste of time, at worst actively deceptive.
