Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “Construction of Irreality: An Enactive-Constructivist Stance on Counterfactuals” by Andrey S. Druzhinin. Abstract: Druzhinin’s insistence that the behaviour portrayed in fictional films can be considered a “reliable source of evidence for […] experiential analysis” of the cognitive use of counterfactuals is progressive and highly laudable. However, there remain outstanding dots, of a cybernetic nature, to be connected in his argument. Once connected, they contradict his self-imposed limitations on the possible nature of experimentation.
