Consciousness and responsiveness are orthogonal. Your dictionary would define the locked-in victims of apparently vegetative states as nonconscious. They are not.

Common sense is valuable, but it has a mixed scientific track record.

You can always find small exceptions to everything. But you know what I mean.

Except if your point is that, like the vegetative victims, the rock's brain is still alive.

Any definition for anything is tautologically true if you ignore exceptions
