The issue is we as of yet still have no falsifiable or rigorous measurable definition of consciousness. So any reference to something consciousness isn't doesn't make a strong case.

I don't think plants have a conventional consciousness, but I don't think this study found evidence of something it can't even structure a good definition of.
