No, it's harder because you can tell when you've failed.
I guess you meant "it's harder because you CAN'T tell when you've
failed."
But this is theory dependent. With comp + classical theory of
knowledge (recover by Theatetus applied on Gödel's beweisbar
arithmetical predicate) you get a whole theory of qualia+quanta.
Evidences from empirical quanta on it does give evidence on the theory
of qualia (the hard problem), and refutation by quanta refute
automatically the qualia theory, and so it can be shown wrong.
