AIUI, the argument is along the lines of IF you consider p-zombies as plausible and distinct from regular folk, THEN you are a dualist, because that distinction is based on one which only exists in dualist conceptions of the world (to a non-dualist a strong p-zombie would just be a person as there is no special sauce either to be added or withheld. I think that's a reasonable argument (if flawed in conflating all non-physical conceptions of the world as dualist). I think it says nothing about what one ought to think about the validity of p-zombies, just the cinsequences of accepting their validity.

Sorry for typos, phone & s/w keyboard on bus not ideal for this kind of thing.
