On the one hand, you agree we can objectively study "what it feels like" but on the other hand you claim is like LW's beetle,i.e, it does no work. But the exploration of "what it feels like" leads to profound understanding of the person.
On the one hand I agree we can study /reports/ of "what it feels like" (since reports are a mode of overt behavior), but "if we construe the grammar of the expression of sensation on the model of 'object and designation' the object drops out of consideration as irrelevant" (PI 293).
