Well, there's nothing I disagree with in your statement, but am also not sure how to fit it within the previous exchange. OP was implying that, because there could be cases where the description of a phenomenon contrasts with the direct experience of it (such as the image being "flipped" due to the law of optics), then we are always deceived. I disagree with that characterization because either we say that mind always deceives itself (I can work with that statement) or you can't exclusively point out world views and beliefs, because in those cases we don't have a physical representation to contrast them with, therefore it's a non-sequitur.
