You're talking about the hard problem of consciousness, the post you're replying to is talking about the "easy" problem.

Science can't and won't ever be able explain why being conscious feels like this, but it should in principle be possible to figure out what is physically going on in the brain while it's happening.

Sure, but the tricky part is when we apply that to non-biological intelligences. Or even non-human ones, and thus questions about bat consciousness. At any rate, there's lots of room for different positions on consciousness that don't have to invoke the supernatural.
