Yeah, I'm in agreement with you, my point is that we have proof that people perceive reality slightly differently, in general it's pretty standardized, but there are slight variations. That's all my point was.

    You have things like grapheme-color synesthesia where people really do experience things different. They might see 2s as blue and 5s as green. So if they ever saw a 2 it would be blue. Like 5 5 5 5 2 5 5. Even though the numbers are all the same color to us someone with the synesthesia would see those numbers there in the color their mind associates them with automatically.
