Well, you lead with "The vast majority of humans - even intelligent humans - do not "hallucinate like crazy."" and then follow up by identifying a vast category of humans that do, literally, hallucinate like crazy. Unless you want to make an argument like mental illness actually being the appropriate mindset for viewing the world. Anyhow, you probably want to include an argument for why you think it is OK to exclude them.
Humans hallucinate continuously. If you test them in any way it is common to get nonsense answers. The difference is that it isn't polite to ask humans questions that expose the madness, people tend to shy away from topics that others routinely get wrong.
It is quite hard to explain a typical scholastic test without hallucinations. Particularly getting making mistakes in maths, spelling, and the sciences. It isn't like there is some other correct answer to a math problem that someone could be confused by; people just invent operations that don't exist when questioned.
> The simple, plain, demonstrable non-prejudiced fact is LLMs confabulate and hallucinate far more than human beings.
That isn't true, the opposite is true. Humans couldn't answer the breadth of questions a LLM does without making up a substantially more garbage. The only reason it isn't more obvious to you is because we structure society around not pressuring humans to answer arbitrary questions that test their understanding.
