In a recent article, Brette argues that coding as a concept is inappropriate\nfor explanations of neurocognitive phenomena. Here, we argue that Brette's\nconceptual analysis mischaracterizes the structure of causal claims in coding\nand other forms of analysis-by-decomposition. We argue that analyses of this\nform are permissible, conceptually coherent, and offer essential tools for\nbuilding and developing models of neurocognitive systems like the brain.\n
