Aren't both of those examples special case of my definition though? "[i]t doesn't report on reality correctly, or [...] it sends [...] incorrect signals." But

Aren't both of those examples special case of my definition though? "[i]t doesn't report on reality correctly, or [...] it sends [...] incorrect signals." But what if the mind is reporting on reality correctly, and the signals it's sending are correct, it's just that we do not like them very much? Can a signal be entirely correct, but destructive? If so, it just seems like a special case of the expression "the truth hurts". It's not my mind which is defect by informing me of the present state of affairs, it's the present state of affairs which are regrettable.
