> You can’t just go around changing words all willy nilly. Language is a group effort and different words have different meanings. If you're going to argue semantics, then at least start with some definitions for the words you're arguing about. Your definition of perception as just the sensory input and interpretation as a conclusion based on this perception is not the only way or even the common way to use the words in this context. For example: https://courses.lumenlearning.com/boundless-psychology/chapter/introduction-to-perception/ https://courses.lumenlearning.com/boundless-psychology/chapt... > Perception refers to the set of processes we use to make sense of the different stimuli we’re presented with. Our perceptions are based on how we interpret different sensations. and > Perception: The organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information > The scientific method has been used very reliably and predictably to solve very big problems. When you say 'very reliably and predictably' what does that actually mean? What does 'very' mean? Do we have a way of objectively measuring these things? > But in society we have decided to arrive at similar interpretations to many things so that we can function. 'Decided to arrive at' and 'arrived at' are not the same thing and also depend on your 'interpretation' of society. An electron doesn't decide to behave similarly to other electrons even if it does so, for example.
