The meanings are much clearer now.

However, I still think that it is an argument about semantics and calef's argument still holds.

You mean the original distinction, or your computationalist reconstruction? (Which is not at all accurate in my view)

The original distinction. My reconstruction is what I came up with in an attempt to interpret meaning into it.

I agree that my reconstruction is not at all accurate. It's just something that occurred to me while reading it and I found it fascinating enough to write about it. In fact, I even said that in my original post.
