I think that certain arguments from neuroscience were definitely considered, see the extended section on ‘necessary and sufficient conditions’ which looks at the cortex-required view, and the section right before that on ‘potentially consciousness indicating factors’ which looks at ‘neuroanatomical similarity’ and has a whole appendix associated. These two would both probably cover the types of argument that you’re making, even if it doesn’t address your specific mechanism, so pointing out what he missed in the relevant section would probably be helpful.
