But, really, all you're doing is dickering about the definition. It doesn't make me grumpy at all. In fact, I can agree wholeheartedly with you and still believe in qualia, because what you describe *is* what the word means: self-perception. No amount of sophist-icated, hermeneutics will make it useful, here.
But what's physical and for which falsifiable hypotheses can be formulated is *how* plants sense and react versus how animals sense and react. So, again, if we can talk about *that*, then we might make progress to whether or not non-human animals psychologize.
