Well I'll be, still I think "Still continue to operate as one" makes less assumptions, we barely know consciousness is even real to begin with, how can we confidently say that it's like an infinitely dividable amoeba of some kind? I guess I'll check the link.

Yeah I think that's what's so interesting about it! It's one of the few situations where we have been able to (in a limited way) study how consciousness comes about in a mind. Perhaps leaving us with more questions than answers... Tantalising.
