Given the absence of objective support for your position, it
is a
philosophical matter!

For you it is naturally "anthropomorphic premise" for the reason it being beyond your basic principles.

Conflating the refusal of another to accept your unsubstantiated premise as fact with "being beyond [their] basic principles" is specious to the point of bordering on being
ad hominem.
The fact remains that there is
no objective basis for your premise. Mere response to stimuli in a manner that mimics that of a human in no way bespeaks of sentience. Your premise is but an article of faith; and, proclaiming it to be self-evident differs naught from those who hold religious scriptures to be revealed truths.
