The same experiment informed my understanding of consciousness in a different way. It's not that there are two people inside you. Rather, your mind is composed of many pieces that each individually only understand one apect of the world. The corpus callosum is just an easy place to make a split. You could subdivide further and see a similar effect on each subdivided part.
That's a thought experiment that could never be done for many reasons, but I hold out some hope we might some day be able to verify it non-destructively.
