Would you be convinced if you talked to the ems a bunch and they reported normal, happy, fun lives? (Assuming nothing nefarious happened in terms of e.g. modifying their brains to report that.) I think I would find that very convincing. If you wouldn’t find that convincing, what would you be worried was missing?
I would find that reasonably convincing, yes (especially because my prior is already that true ems would not have a tendency to report their experiences in a different way from us).
