The target article's value lies not in its defence of specification,or the “global array” concept, but in its challenge to the paradigmof 5+ senses, and its examples of multiple receptor typescooperatively participating in specific pick-up tasks. Rather thananalysing our perceptual endowment into 5+ senses, it is morerevealing to type perceptual systems according to task.
