"It seems some just can't grasp this concept.". Your confidence reveals your lack of knowledge. No one has a scooby what consciousness is or how to measure it. It could be that every atom has a modicum of conscious experience. It could be that consciousness is an emergent phenomena (although I think this claim is unlikely as it seems to me to be making a category error). It could be that it's actually Midi-chlorians. I repeat nobody knows. There are as many theories as there are people who have thought deeply about the problem. You coming along all confident with your debunking mindset and your scientism are just showing everyone who has any understanding that you do not know what you are talking about.
