The -contents- of their experience, what it "feels like" to be someone else is not the subject in question, however. We are not wondering whats in the box, in context, we're wondering whether or not there's a box. I think that there are many subtle frameshifts in these propositions that lead us to declare a problem of x when, in actuality, we're referring to a problem of y.
Assume, for example, that being someone else doesn't feel anything -at all- like being yourself. That does not say anything about whether or not they feel. An objection to the one is no objection to the other. What may be warranted skepticism in the former is not transferred, logically, to the latter.
