Why do you think it is possible to be physically identical to something that experiences qualia and NOT experience them?
Why do you assume it is possible for something to report having qualia, discuss qualia, wax eloquent about qualia, and still not actually experience qualia?
To me, those seem fundamentally contradictory.
