What are you actually arguing against here? The article is about a variety of different phenomenon, some of which can be interpreted as a neuronal "dictatorship" (e.g. escape actions) and some of which can't (e.g. monkey arm movement). I don't think you can characterise something as complex as a mind with a simple argument by contradiction. (by the way, you might be interested in Oliver Sack's popsci book "the man who mistook his wife for a hat". A lot of it is about temporal lobe injuries, which are well known to cause consciousness-related disorders)
