No, sorry.  I guess I should have said something more like?:

Additionally, non of this has anything to do with the 'Hard Problem', 
which I believe the full understanding of such will turn out to be much 
more significant and likely to bear powerful world changing fruits.  
Indeed, I beleive the full demonstrable understanding of such will turn 
out to be the greatest scientific discovery - ever.  Richard - what are 
your thoughts on this?  Does any of Roy's work have anything to do with 
the 'Hard Problem' in any way?  Or is it all just simply about 
behavioral mechanisms or designs - categorically different than the 
phenomenal?


I hope that makes more sense.  Sorry for my poor choice of words.  
Please let me know if any of the above still doesn't seem perfectly clear.

Thanks
