Conveniently, dennet goes to great lengths to address that sort of subtle, counterfactual, argument...regarding p-zombies and mary the color scientist specifically....if you read his book..... 
In any case, why do you think that seeming is some issue of mine that I can;t accept? It;s more of a problem for your possible p zombie than me or dennet. Dennet and I both accept that things oftenb seem some way..what he doubts, and what I doubt, is that things actually are the way they seem when it comes to consciousness.
It would be kind of silly for him to attempt to explain why things seemed some way x..if he didn't think that they seemed that way...don't you think?
