§160

We can imagine a case where someone reads a text fluently but with the feelings associated with saying something he has learnt by heart. In this case we would not say that the person is not reading because they don't have the right feelings (this deals with the objection in §159). - It is not necessary that someone has certain feelings in order for them to be reading.

Someone could be presented with signs that don't belong to any existing alphabet and utter words corresponding to the number of signs, as if they were letters. They could do this with the feeling of reading it. - This suggests that having certain feelings is not sufficient for someone to be reading. - In this kind of case it could be that someone has the feelings associated with reading but is not reading.

It might also be that we would say that the person was reading in this case - if they correlated the signs (which don't come from any existing alphabet) with familiar letters consistently then we may well say that they were reading. - But this tells us that it is not the feeling that counts. It isn't by asking the person about their feelings that we determine whether they are reading or not in a case like this.
