Which you?  Your right or left hemisphere you?  And if your right
hemisphere knows, absolutely, that your left hemisphere's neural correlate
of redness is not your left hemisphere's greenness neural correlate, why
could we not simply predict that we will soon be doing the same thing
between brains - and proving what you claim cannot be proven, just as
surely as your left hemisphere knows what your right is like?

At least this particular repeated claim of yours is very falsifiable.
