- Retric 4y agoBad taste is simply a perception, you’re making an inference that the bad taste was caused by something but the perception precedes the inference. Further the perception and response to that taste isn’t a inference that something is physically harmful. You can dislike perfectly healthy food. That said, if uranium had a bad taste people wouldn’t have been as harmed demonstrating the lack of perception of the initial minute harm resulted in greater long term harm.
