If no computer scientist will ever make a conscious machine out of whatever size network of ARM (or even QuARM) processors running its native machine code, then that's a clue.
But how can that be a clue? If consciousness is defined as an internal, incommunicable feeling then is made unobservable by definition. If someone builds and intelligent machine that behaves as people do and claims to be conscious then there can be no non-religious reason to deny it is conscious.
