I think we should take heed of Confusius when he said, "the hardest thing of all to find is a black cat in a dark room, especially if there is no cat."!
I agree that saying consciousness exists "somewhere" is incoherent. Consciousness isn't a "thing" like a rock. It's existence itself. Rocks, and other "things" that have locations, are constructed from consciousness, i.e., they are experiences that form structured relationships (or perhaps we just conceive of as having formed relationships).
That's my take on all this anyway...
