  For Hinton, an important feature of his Perception-Illusion Disjunctions is that they do not report what is happening to the subject, as distinct from saying, non-committally, that one of a number of things is happening. Hinton claims that these disjunctive claims do not give a “definite answer” to the question ‘what happened to the subject?’ or as he sometimes puts it, they do not give the “what-it-is of the event” in question. This is why Hinton thinks that substantiating the relevant common element assumption requires showing that our Neutral Experience Reports are not equivalent to his disjunctive statements. According to the thought expressed in (c) above, our Neutral Experience Reports are committal in a way that these disjunctive statements are not. So the idea here seems to be that if our Neutral Experience Reports are equivalent to Hinton’s Perception-Illusion disjunctions, then assumption (c), above, is thereby undermined.
