Fair points. However I don't put humans in a special category, so much as I say I know at least humans are this conscious. I then cite some research on Australian magpies which suggests they may be so conscious too.

It is not different from theory of mind; theory of mind is an important part of it, just not the whole picture. I argue access consciousness and theory of mind go hand in hand, which is a significant departure from how access consciousness is traditionally understood.
