It seems to me the problem is defining consciousness, not testing for it.
And it seems to me that beliefs of this sort are exactly the reason philosophy is in such a muddle. A definition of consciousness is not needed, in fact unless you're a mathematician where they can be of some use, one can lead a full rich rewarding intellectually life without
having a good definition of anything. Compared with examples definitions are of trivial importance.
