 Epiphenomenalism
Lewis's point here is not to argue for or against epiphenomenalism; rather, he assumes epiphenomenalism is false, and uses the fact that the hypothesis of phenomenal information leads to it as an argument against that hypothesis.
Denis Robinson (1993) raises the possibility that Lewis's argument can be extended to produce a far-reaching and puzzling result.
Denis Robinson (1993), however, regards intrinsic similarity of fundamental physical entities as different from similarity of phenomenal properties.

As a child Robinson had a vivid imagination, indulging in pantomimes and other games of make believe.
However, the artist was not pleased to be pigeonholed as simply a cartoonist, particularly as this categorisation intensified in the public's mind - he took his other work just as seriously, and wanted to extend his repertoire further.
During World War One, Heath Robinson produced many gently satirical cartoons, which proved popular with officers and soldiers alike, many of whom wrote to him, suggesting ways of dealing with the Germans.

 Grafico Arts: William Robinson Review
Then suddenly in the late 1980s, when Robinson was in his 50s, bald and plump, and but for a mischievous twinkle in his intelligent eye, easily mistaken by a drongo southern press as a kind of hayseed naif, Pa Kettle with a paintbrush, he emerged as a very considerable painter and an overnight media sensation.
In these rainforest paintings, Robinson is governed by so intense and visionary an imagination that his admirers see him as a romantic painter on a par with John Constable and Caspar David Friedrich.
What is different for Robinson, however, is that he is inventing a new painting language for a lost, primeval landscape that the rest of the world hardly knows.
