Anyone got some Deep Questions that aren't just verbal and conceptual confusion?
"Why is it that when our cognitive systems engage in visual and auditory information-processing, we have visual or auditory experience: the quality of deep blue, the sensation of middle C? How can we explain why there is something it is like to entertain a mental image, or to experience an emotion? It is widely agreed that experience arises from a physical basis, but we have no good explanation of why and how it so arises. Why should physical processing give rise to a rich inner life at all?"
-- David Chalmers
These questions may be a product of conceptual confusion, but they don't seem that way to me. Perhaps I am confused in the same way.
Those questions look prima facie impossible to answer, which in my experience strongly indicates that they are the result of conceptual confusion.
Please provide some examples of questions which "look... impossible to answer" but actually result from "conceptual confusion".

I think we usually don't call questions where it's simply hard to find empiric evidence deep. We usually call those questions where conceptualizing is difficult deep.
