at teh end of the day we don’t have a definition of consciousness, so issues that would come down to it can’t be decided.

Perhaps not, but the first and only thing we as individuals are aware of (when we are aware) is that we are aware. The perceptions of external observers may not share that experience, but they can certainly try to invalidate it.
