I'd add that interpretations of blindsight as involving "a stimulus that does not enter consciousness" are quite controversial, for some of the same reasons. My collaborator @ianbphillips.bsky.social has written what is, in my view, the definitive treatment: www.ianbphillips.com/uploads/2/2/...

We also use detection-theoretic statistics to show that our subjects, as a group, are conservative in their reports of awareness, giving additional reason to think that those who say "no" to yes/no questions about whether they noticed a given stimulus are actually playing it safe with their answers.

It's a great question! In this case the 'subsequent choices' are explicit reports about the very stimulus in question. Subjects can tell us where the stimulus was located on the display, what color it was, and so on. We think the natural explanation of such accurate reports is that they could see it
