My issue simply stems from how people try to disconnect our conscious experiences from the physical phenomena that underlies it.

Perhaps its my own perception on how I read into statements that make these assertions, but humans have quite a long history of invoking magic "souls" and such to explain thought processes and behaviors. My insistence on referencing the underlying phenomena is an attempt to counter this.
