Paradiddle, who I read as conflating the two — he defines “conscious” as both “awake and aware” and as “there is something it [is] like to be us”
Or it could be that believes, as a factual matter, that one necessarily implies the other. I won’t pretend to mind read him, though.
Are you saying that Critch’s subjects aren’t talking about what you mean by “conscious”?
I’m saying I suspect Critch was not careful enough in how he posed his questions to the people he was interviewing to ensure that they understood[1] the question was about “consciousness-LW” and not “consciousness-general,” which includes “consciousness-MD.”

Even though most (but not all) of them seem to have grasped the task regardless
