because...
you can make a device called a 'fuzz buster' which is designed to track the presence of police radar.
it beeps when there is police radar...
but there are no meaningful sub beeps for the presence of police in the absence of radar
there are no meaningful sub beeps for the presence of radar in the absence of police
so while the device functions to register (represent even) police radar that doesn't entail that the device has the concepts 'police' and 'radar'. it is an unstructured representation even though it represents a complex property.
likewise having a state that represents a 'demeaning offence to me and mine' doesn't entail that one has a structured arrangement of concepts...
and hence...
it doesn't count as a cognitive theory on standard understandings of cognitive...
