Consciousness implements understanding...and, it can also mimic it (grant one a false impression of understanding) that is typically indistinguishable from the real thing (see also: dreams). Worse: it can often not do otherwise (than mimic understanding, such as wondering what is actually true). Scientists who have little background in the complexity and nuances of consciousness, and language & culture (also fantastic reality simulators) frequently have errors in judgment that they simply can't detect, and typically can't even try to grapple with because of these misunderstandings. And, with all the polarization in the world, it's interesting there's so little (if not negative) interest in these sorts of phenomena.
