Indeed, and Brent had the beginnings of the definition of an experiment
that could do just that.  He also said he had the money to fund such an
experiment.

I would be curious to know if Brent is following up offlist with the

of further unproductive discussions on the meaning of "qualia" (which is
one of the reasons why I suggested ceasing use of that word).
