> You can have someone who seems completely awake, walking around and interacting normally, but if you ask them later they were completely unconscious from their own perspective

Were they unconscious, or are they now unable to remember what they did? I.e. amnesiac.

If you ask a deceased person about their life, you will find that they also will offer no evidence of a previous conscious experience. Life, apparently, resembles unconsciousness.
