I don't think P-zombies can exist. There must be some perceptible difference between an intelligence w/ consciousness and one without. The only way there wouldn't be a difference is if we are mistaken about the consciousness (either both have it or neither do).

I think there are differences, and I think we can make good guesses, but I'm not sure we can reliably classify a P-zombie from a normal human from their behaviour with 100% accuracy..
