What about asking people who take hallucinogenic drugs? That can cause brains to generate new qualia. I've generated new qualia myself by taking lots of cannabis. So there you go, your belief has been disproved using the very criteria and standard of evidence that you have decided on.

That's just the excuse you use. My point still stands. You have decided from the outset that you are not prepared to listen to any evidence whatever we may present so there is no reason for us to bother debating with you.
