In all your reasoning you implicitely use "consciousness" for example when you says "When you claim that you have the subjective experience of first person, *I* can see that you are just showing a special kind of behaviour." Who/what is "I" ? Who/what is seeing ? What does it means for you to see if you have no inner representation of what you (hmmm if you're not conscious, you is not an appropriate word) see, what does it means to see at all ? In all your reasonning you allude to "I", this is what 1st pov is about not about you (the conscious being/knower) looking at another person as if there was no obsever (means you) in the observation.
