Re: There is a third possibility...

That there are "real" differences in how people hear things. As an analogy, consider this: three friends go to see a movie. One has 20/20 vision, one is short-sighted and has forgotten his glasses, and one is colour-blind. They each percieve the same stimulus in different ways, but the differences are not "imaginary" - they arise from the differences in sensory equipment, modified by the brain's post-processing. A great example of the effect of post-processing can easily be seen if you're short-sighted: girls look much better when they're far away, because your brain fills in the detail that your eyes can't properly resolve. Is this an "imaginary" effect or a "real" effect? When dealing with the vagiaries of perception, what does "real" really mean anyway?

Or have I just completely misunderstood your point? ;)
