The problem is that the "meaningful similarity" defined as consciousness in a lab setting is probably operationalized for study. For example, you can study brain function and the waves the brain gives off, and say "consciousness is when brain regions X,Y and Z are all processing more than ___ calories / minute" or whatever.
