Consider the point on memory though, this is what Dennett is famous for arguing for. He tries to undercut qualia by giving examples where tastes might shift or we can't decide between an immediate apprehension or memory. It might be the case as you say, which is what Dennett tries for, which means it might also not be the case for immediate apprehension which puts a big question mark on indubitibility. thanks for visiting.

However, I think it could be argued that qualia may be experienced in a direct, infallible way at the moment they are experienced, and that the haziness and ambiguity which certainly arises. arises when they are transferred, either to a different, and perhaps more explicitly self-conscious level of consciousness, or just, via memory to later states. I may have to do some more introspection to check! I think your argument is a good and interesting one.
