What duality of body and mind?The point of the thought experiment is to show that there are two completely different accounts for what happens at a certain point due to the duality of body and mind.
There is no duality in the scientific account of body and mind.
There is no duality either in your subjective experience of your own mind and of anybody's body.
There is a duality between the scientific account of the mind and your subjective experience of your own mind. That's very different. That's not really a duality. That's just differing perspectives.
I'm not aware that anybody ever showed that there was a duality of body and mind.
