Inverted spectrum scenarios are dialectically superior because they presuppose phenomenal consciousness exists, making them harder to dismiss via eliminativist or illusionist responses.

Dialectically superior(as an argument evaluation method): Stronger or more convincing in a logical debate because it can withstand counterarguments better than competing ideas.
Eliminativism (or eliminativist response)(as a skeptical position about consciousness): The philosophical view that consciousness as we think of it doesn't actually exist—it's a mistake or illusion, like how we once thought phlogiston was a real substance in fire.
Illusionism (or illusionist response)(as a skeptical position about consciousness): The philosophical view that consciousness exists, but our inner experiences are illusions or not what they appear to be—they trick us about their own nature.
Presuppose(what both foundationalisms supposedly do): To assume or take for granted something as true in order to make an argument work, without proving it first.
