Well it counts by weakening some of your arguments that use that same inability. If you say there is no proof that NDE's are not just hallucinations or dreams (actually there is some evidence), it is worth pointing out that proof is very hard to come by in these matters. You could have the most wonderfully 'artificially intelligent' computer, and you would still be unable to prove it was actually conscious (experienced qualia).
