Your presumption that I'm wrong about my own experience is, well, presumptive.
Your tests for subvocalizing are not all correct (spotting "a" vs. "an" does not require subvocalizing).
I do experience text as visual stimulus without sound, and I do process it in clumps. As I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, I once experienced reading multiple lines simultaneously, perceiving not just sentences but paragraphs all at once.
It was quite a rush.
It's not something I can control, or something I can do on command, but I think it is decent evidence that I don't subvocalize.
