The idea is that planning and behavioral adaptation or something with equivalent outcomes could be instantiated some other way - and..yeah, sure - I think so..just as I can agree that consciousness isn't necessary for survival. Conscious agents, or conscious reports...it doesn't really matter, seems to be at least one of the ways of doing some things. The whole p-zombie setup is nothing more or other than precisely this assertion. As for necessity....a person can't logically deny multiple realizability while asserting multiple realizability.
"What if this behavior can come about other ways?" - well..yeah, sure. However this other identical behavior with a different cause came about would be expected to exert selective pressure as well. Let's call the p-zombies organ the Mimicker. It doesn't have a brain and it doesn't really think like us, but it's mimicker makes it act just like us. I'd say to expect similar outcomes in similar survival scenarios.....?
