Do reafferent loops prove a part of Dickinson's claim that nearly everything is a contruct of the brain?  That our behavior is a construct of the brain? It certainly proves that brain= behavior in the sense that the brain uses its outputs as inputs and recycles signals in order to generate behavior. Reafferent loops, as well as a large percentage of interneurons in the brain, almost make me think that the brain doesn't need to rely much on environment for inputs (except maybe for the very first input from the environment that can spark an action potential). So is our interpretation of the world more dependent on our behavior and actons than the actual environment itself?
