If p-zeds are really behaviorally indistingusible then so is their brain activity, they are behaviorally indistinguisble in every way, so they must have consciousness too, so they're not p-zeds, and therefore they can't actually exist.To conclude this, you must first prove the hidden (and unverifiable) premise: that brain activity causally necessitates consciousness in a brain whose proposed consciousness is outside of your empirical observational ability and conscious experience.
