I don't think it would either. If one takes a stimulus-responce model as the basis of function in the brain, it would be possible that one of our own responces becomes a stimulus, which leads to another responce. In such a case, the hypothesis could be absolutely correct about the confines of our thinking, particularly when you consider that our grasp of language grows strongly from our early youth (which we generally cannot remember by the time we are capable of abstract and applied thought).
I'm not saying that I accept the position, but I certainly accept the proposition that it is not mutually exclusive with Chomsky's proposition.
Why do I get the sense that you are like an older, postmodernist version of myself?
