You could say that same about people who embrace emergentism too though couldn't you? I don't believe we have any sort of definitive evidence to support a specific theory about consciousness beyond all shadow of a doubt**. Yet it's rather hard to go without one so it would make sense to tentatively support the theory that seems more probable. I'm not seeing why panpsychism, especially in the more moderated form of panexperientalism, is any more "superstitious" or "irrational" than emergentism is. It's one way of making sense of the data.
