Why is this blog called The Chinese Room?

It's not because I'm Chinese. The Chinese Room refers to a thought experiment developed by John Searle as an argument against artificial intelligence. A good summary can be found here on Wikipedia. It seems to me that the basic argument, that a computer program could duplicate intelligence without having any real consiousness or understanding behind it, can be applied to human intelligence as well. I find the whole subject interesting and thought it would make a nice blog name.
