I think we all know what we mean when we say "feel pain", there is no need to define it. Some things, such as "knowledge", are difficult to define, but we all know what they mean, and asking somebody to define it is derailing a discussion.

We all know what we mean when we say “we feel pain”.   You probably have no idea what you really mean when you say “fish feel pain”.    If you do, then you would answer and not deflect the question.
