Summary/Abstract: I reply to a number of papers (published in Croatian Journal of Philosophy 7 [2007], 29–92 and in this issue) that stem from a conference in Rijeka on thought experiments. These are papers by Ana Butković, Dave Davies, Boris Grozdanoff, Dunja Jutronić, Nenad Miščević, Ksenija Puškarić, and Irina Starikova. Their criticisms of my views are diverse, but one theme, perhaps inevitably, dominates the criticisms: the unworkability of my Platonism. I try to defend this and to adequately answer other criticisms, as well.
