Feb 18 at 1:06 comment added Alsee @Mark I watched the video, it clarified the paper's painful jargon. You can't randomly mismatch things because everything is cause-and effect, everything is either hardwired or learned. At birth pain and pleasure are genetically hardwired to neurochemical learning/avoidance. My mental state and qualia for green may or may not resemble your mental state and qualia for green, but you call your qualia a "color" because it comes from your eyes and you call it "green" because that's the word you hear from others when you experience it. Your responses are in "harmony" because cause-effect learning.
Feb 17 at 23:14 comment added user66156 I think you completely misunderstood the argument. The argument is not about "labels" assigned to experiences using natural language. It's about the correspondence between the physical and "qualia" or "conscious experiences". Labels and language are not relevant at all here. I recommend you watch this video: youtu.be/uk-2FdSVy10
