The better question in my mind is - Why? | |

It would work against a type of monistic solipsism that cannot distinguish between thinking part and thought part, but it's easily subsumed by identify the I/They distinction as a distinction between parts of the I -- with the observing bit doing the thinking and the observed bit receiving it. | |
