No comment. That’s not what I said and I’m not saying it now. My point is that, while the p-zombie argument may have been formulated with “magical” explanations in mind, it does not directly reference them in the form usually presented.
I see little point in ignoring what an argument states explicily in favour of speculations about what the formulaters had in mind. I also think that rhetorical use of the word “magic” is mind killing. Quantum teleportation might seem magical to a 19th century physicist, but it still exists.
Which is why my point is that that the argument makes no mention of “magic”.
