I for one never have, but I have had my fair share of experience of
physical pain.

Now, absolutely *nothing* in such experience ever told me that "pain"
is anything else than a word describing a computational feature,
programmed by natural selection, on the tunes of "if <damage
threatened by fire>, then <withdraw your hand>".

But perhaps it does tell that to everybody else, and I am the only
philosophical zombie in the world... :-D
