abstract = "We discuss the teaching of the discussion surrounding Bender and Koller{\textquoteright}s prominent ACL 2020 paper, “Climbing toward NLU: on meaning form, and understanding in the age of data{"} (Bender and Koller, 2020). We present what we understand to be the main contentions of the paper, and then recommend that the students engage with the natural counter-arguments to the claims in the paper. We attach teaching materials that we use to facilitate teaching this topic to undergraduate students.",
