No, it's irrelevant for this reason. The explanation of consciousness given by neuroscientists gives answers to important questions about consciousness, whereas this hypothetical question isn't even interesting after you realize that the more neuroscience reveals about consciousness the less the concept of a p-zombie makes sense.
