Yes indeed Dennett is "out of reach of the author's criticism" because Dennett is one of the Annointed Lords Of The Academic Establishment - how dare a lowly unpublished scum like myself with no official appointment cast asparaguses at his noble eminence!

Sophisticated and elaborate MY ASS! Dennett's view is Naive Realism. That is the "philosophy" of the common man who has never given philosophy a single thought! What is sophisticated and elaborate is the way in which Dennett manages to prop up this indefensible naive non-philosophy, at least to the satisfaction of other naive realists like this blockhead reviewer!

But they only get away with it by refusing to publish papers that point out that THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES!
