I literally said "as far as we understand the term." We as humans and as we define the term. They do not have consciousness based on what we currently know, and there's very little evidence that they do based on what experiments we are able to conduct. I'm not saying they unequivocally don't, all I'm saying is as we currently understand the term they do not.
