The thing about philosophy is there's nothing to anchor it. Philosophy can change overnight and not lose an ounce of credibility; different philosophers can disagree and neither suffers professionally. As to where consciousness resides, it's definitely a philosophical question; neuroscience must first decide what "consciousness" is and that, I will agree, is a philosophical discussion.
I think the root of our disagreement is that I simply don't see the danger in drawing a distinction between "what we do" and "what we think we do." The conscious/unconscious divide is hardly a new philosophical conceit and one which has helped to outline many sociological and psychological issues.
