You make it sound like we proponents are the only ones arguing this. The fact that consciousness seems to be a problem that we can't just explain away, despite some people wanting to. The fact that Chalmers and others in the article sciborg cited are thinking that maybe consciousness isn't completely reducible to brains is perhaps indicative of something.
Beyond Chalmers I'd note Feser's description of Fodor's Trinity and EJ Lowe's There Is No Easy Problem of Consciousness. I think the popular assumption that the Hard Problem is all that needs to be solved is in fact incorrect, largely due to the confusions noted by John Searle (here*), Massimo (here) and Jaron Lanier (here).
But as always I'd say Harris gave the most resounding confession when he said emergence requires a nonsensical miracle to be true.
*Paul I had an answer to your question about what Searle means by information processing but I forgot where it was. Guess I may have to reread that paper sooner rather than later...
