The introductory paraphrase at supplied PDF sheet 22 remains supported. Extended provenance: mouth-sense boxes 14.1–14.3 on 158–165; motor sampling chapter 17 on 179–187; system diagrams 18.1–18.2 on 191 and 195. All were read and visually examined. These support a general account of interacting sensory and motor processes. They do not establish a whiskey protocol's effectiveness, mandatory swallowing, a particular glassware advantage, or exclusive brain localization.
