Easily imagining worlds doesn't mean they are possible or even consistent, as per the p-zombie world.
This is not argument against Aaronson paper in general, although I think it's far from correct, but against your deduction.
Plus, I think there exist multiple, reasonable and independent arguments that favors LW consensus, and this is evidential weight against Aaronson paper, not the opposite.
I think he proposes an empirical question the answer to which influences whether e.g. uploading is possible. Do you think his question has already answered? Do you have links explaining this, if so?
I have yet to read the full paper, so a full reply will have to wait. But I've already commented that he hand-waves a sensible argument against his thesis. so this is not promising.
