Also generally note, p-zombies could have slight differences in behavior, all that matters is that despite any difference, they appear to behave acting rationally. If all p-Zombies were never dreaming as an example, that would not change their philosophical use. But that's not even part of my explanation. | |

See the opening paragraph of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article, for example. | |
