If we did completely understand consciousness, wouldn't the new way we think about consciousness bring up new questions about the nature of consciousness? Or, to put it another way: How can there be an end game to understanding, when the act of understanding changes how we experience reality?

This is of course a complete hypothetical, because I don't know how experiments on consciousness could not have inherent experimenter bias... but I'm not a scientist.
