I didn't mention the inputs or outputs, I mentioned a perfect simulation in all biological details. That's the opposite of a black box, you'd be able to freely pause and inspect its behavior. So, I don't see why what you posted is relevant.

As for P-Zombies, there would again be no difference between this brain, and a stranger you pass by on the street. Either of them could be a p-zombie, but we give other humans the benefit of the doubt; the same biology should lead to the same internal experience. Personally, I'm completely unconvinced by the p-zombie concept in general, but that's not relevant either.
