You emphasize that a Zombie would assert that he had a consciousness,
but what about the converse? Suppose you met someone who simply denied
that the had a consciousness. When he stubs his toe and says "OUCH!"
and hops around on one foot he says yes that was my reaction but I
wasn't conscious of pain. Can you prove him wrong or do you just DEFINE
him as wrong?

It is an important question, because if zombies are not possible, then
consciousness is not optional. Rather, consciousness would be
logically necessary, in any system having the right configuration.
(Whether that configuration is functional/organizational/causal/or
physical is a separate question).
