If physicalism is the claim that everything, has a physical explanation, then the inability to understand what pain is without being in pain is a contradiction to it. I don’ think anyone here believes that physicalism is an unmportamt issue.
I’m arguing that there’s no contradiction and that this inability is just a limit of humans/organic brains, not a fundamental fact about pain or information.
The relevance is physicalism.

If you want to argue to that conclusion, then arge for it: What kind of limit? Where does it come from?
