The conclusion may be a bit of overstretch (not that it isn't right in some sense, but relative to the argument in this post): it seems that the modern defenders of introspective knowledge of conscious experience (Mary seeing red, etc) have only a very limited sort of access in mind.

There are probably some, though I'm not sure how someone would use mere redness to build up beliefs about other things using e.g. classical foundationalism.

I have, however, updated the original post in response to your comment. Thanks.
