It's Finals week so I can't wade through it now, but based on Chomsky's interview comments in the last couple of years (I posted the reference earlier) I suspect that his points are the same ones that he made in his review of Verbal Behavior. MacCorquodale dealt with that 30 years ago; and more recently David Palmer (reference also posted earlier).
