Invoking "that's just a construct of human thought" gets you into philosophically dicey territory, especially if you're using it to dismiss/reduce aspects of human thought. The danger is you are implicitly invoking A to prove not-A.

Not exactly. I'm not invoking A, I'm ignoring it on the grounds that it doesn't reflect reality. I don't see any solid, logical grounding to the claim that there are discreet types of consciousness.
