Or, you might just as well say, where does the notion that *I* am
doing anything clever come from? How am I supposed to aduce that *I*
have consciousness in this special sense?

Since I'm unable to confuse myself enough to not understand how I
could be a fully deterministic machine, why should I assume that
something bizarre is going on in me at all? Why should I not be a
Data?
