So if the unmodified you answers “yes” to “do I have qualia”, the modified version will, whether it has them or not.
My point is that such a modification that preserves behavior but removes qualia is impossible-in-principle. So we don’t need to consider what such a version would say, since such a version can’t exist in the first place.
