Not being able to make the neurons fire doesn't mean you don't know how it would feel if they did.
I hate this whole scenario for this kind of "This knowledge is a given but wait no it is not." kind of thinking.
Whether or not all the physical knowledge is enough to know qualia is the question and as such it should not be answered in the conclusion of a hypothetical story, and then taken as evidence.
It's at least evidence about the way our minds model other minds, and as such it might be helpful to understand where that intuition comes from.
