I agree. To equate consciousness (which we know to exist) with Matter (an 
unconscious construct of the mind in the mechanist theory of mind) does not 
make much sense. It is a category error consisting in identifying what we do 
not understand.
It is easier to explain the illusion of matter to someone conscious than the 
illusion of consciousness (and what could that be?) to a piece of matter.
