Trouble there, is physicalism has -many- explanations for consciousness. It even has an explanation for why "1 appears as 2".
You and grand think that they're wrong - but it would be massively dishonest (or simply ignorant) to state that they don't exist. Nor, for that matter, would anyone need to explain human consciousness to have any explanation of consciousness. We're entirely likely to figure out more about other examples first...if only for our reservations about human experimentatation. All along the way, I suspect...even if consciousnes in this or that, and many of the aspects of consciousness et al are explained (let's call this a hypothetical for funsies,) people who hold to the hard problem will insist that none of those things explain whatever their thing is. That's the entire gimmick to begin with - explicitly stated.
