From context it doesn't look like this was the interpretation of "sidestepping" OP was using.
That wasn't my reading of the comment, but I guess it's possible that that is what was intended.
To my mind, "sidestepping the question of consciousness" and "sidestepping any notion of consciousness" mean very different things.
