You're retreating into metaphysics and avoiding the problem.  If I build two robots that are equally intelligent and human like in their behavior (but not assuming them be identical in behavior) can I make one that is conscious and the other either not-conscious or conscious in a very different way that I won't be able to recognize as such?  Or to give a more concrete biological example, is the consciousness of an octopus similar to that of a mouse; or does the very different neural structure imply a difference in consciousness?
