May,Please answer this simple question about your views. It's not a trick; I'm just trying to understand you.
Is it possible, in your opinion, for a person to believe they perceive something and be wrong? That is, is it possible for me (or you) to smell a smell, or see an image, or perceive a difference in sound that isn't really there? Or is it a matter of personal conviction with you that every difference you perceive is by definition 'real'--whatever 'real' might mean to you?
