Discussion
Why did Turing propose a behavioural test rather than a definition of thinking?
Answer: D
Turing argued that the original question is too meaningless to deserve discussion, and replaced it with a concrete test that can actually be conducted. That move set the pattern for much of the field, which prefers measurable performance to definitional argument. Measurement convenience, mechanism and funding were not his reasons. Replacing a philosophical question with an empirical one is a strategy that recurs whenever a discipline wants to make progress rather than argue.
