    I suppose that’s the issue: it’s externally observed rather than internally experienced. The difference may matter for the one experiencing it rather than just being observed.

        Perhaps not, but the first and only thing we as individuals are aware of (when we are aware) is that we are aware. The perceptions of external observers may not share that experience, but they can certainly try to invalidate it.
