If there is a physical area inside the brain that suffices to produce consciousness, then you are right, although to be fair, one could argue that some thing like that is necessary without going into specific details about what it is.One could, but they would only be arguing assertions and axioms. In the case that they did, and lets use the hypothetical case in which a person -did- propose a non physical "something-like-that", then an eliminativist would ask the same question again, of whatever that proposed x was. Does the way -that- x works, map to our experience of it?

Notice the very first comment, not that I;m pointing out that the first commenter is some expert..it just shows the dynamic between eliminative materialists and some form of person whop doesn;t think that consciousness is brain function. They agree...because they can agree, on much....their divergence is in a conclusion of parsimony between two explanations, not in the evidence that leads to those two explanations being on the table. Uncontroversial propositions, radical reduction.
