Unlike Searle, and like Sharvy, I believe it ain't the meat, it's the motion (see the Sharvy reference at the bottom). Sharvy presents a fading qualia argument much like the one Chalmers offers in the link simplicio provides, only, to my recollection, without Chalmers's wise caveat that the functional isomorphism should be fine-grained.
