Granted; we won’t have definitive evidence for or against dualism until we’re at the point that we can fully test the (non-) reductive nature of qualia. If people who have access to each other’s private language dictionaries still report meta-feeling that the other person feels different qualia from the same mental stimulus then I’ll have more evidence for dualism than I do now. True, that won’t help with incomparable qualia, but it would be kind of...convenient...if the only incomparable qualia are the ones that people report feeling differently.

We are not going to have private language dictionaries.
