Alan Turing's classical thought experiment on the indistinguishability between a machine and a human being relies upon testing a discrete state machine's ability to reply questions. However, what to expect from the answers given by the machine during the experiment remains unclear, as the ways to contrast those replies are not well defined enough to serve as a basis for any epistemic decision. Moreover, the test is crucially dependent on the interrogator's ability to ask questions and the machine's ability to deceive the experiment's judge. These elements add some level of arbitrariness to the test. We propose instead a test which will not try to assess a machine's ability to think, but the possibility of that machine's being a (non trivial) partial or total model of thought.
