I can explain why if a machine can have experience and enough reflexivity, then the

If some aliens decide that we are not conscious, we will not find any test to prove them
wrong.
And if we decide the Mars Rover is conscious, can any test prove us wrong? Or if Craig
decides an atom is conscious, can any test prove him wrong? Which I think is John Clark's
point: Consciousness is easy. Intelligence is hard.
