There is the phenomenon of qualia and then there is the ontological extension. The word does not refer to the ontological extension.
It would be like explaining lightning with lightning. Sure when we dig down there are non-lightning parts. But lightning still zaps people.
Or it would be a category error like saying that if you can explain physics without coordinates by only positing that energy exists you should drop coordinates from your concepts. But coordinates are not a thing to believe in, it's a conceptual tool to specify claims not a hypothesis in itself. When physists believe in a particular field theory they are not agreeing with the greek philosphers that think that the world is made of a type of number.
