Sure do, and when cognitive scientists say that they're measuring and observing consciousness in some animal..and they do, this is the scientific consensus that exists, which you know exists, which you simply disagree with, they are not claiming to be able to livestream subjective experience. It's a non starter as an objection or as a bar for observation - but you're certainly free to believe in it to your hearts content. You may even be right.
It's only important, with respect to stolen concepts, that if you do believe that science is incapable of making these observations, that you don't assert and thus require the truth that science is capable of making these observations. You do not think that science observes the correlates of consciousness. You think that science assumes consciousness, observes behavior and brain activity, and then assumes that these -are- the correlates of consciousness. You've explicitly said as much.
You..just...stepped...in...shit. How many different ways and times can this be explained to you? It's not about you being right or wrong, but about you expressing your position in a coherent way. Validity, not soundness. Phrasing, not truth.
