I always took it to be that a zombie could catch itself thinking (as a listener) in the same way a non zombie could, the zombie doesn't lack inner speech in that sense, the whole causal chain remains and doesn't create an issue well at least not for a certain set of definitions and understanding of logic.

which really just reflects my agreement with Frank's "Please let's spend more time discussing dubious non-disprovable hypotheses!"

however I like "Thou shalt provide operational definitions for your terms!"
