The point is you cannot distinguish between reality and illusion even if your model accurately describes reality. In the absence of mind everything else exists, but there is no one to _know_ about that and exploit that knowledge. It reminds me classy 5th form physics lesson, when our teacher explained limitations of Newtonian mechanics before lesson on basics of electrodynamics. For those kinds of "physics" time is parameter, coordinate, models make sense. But Einstein came and here we are. And we are not even in the beginning of understanding what "spacetime" _really_ is. That is why I everywhere state in this discussion that we can have 'time' for practical purposes only. Yes, there is the real thing. But we lack tools and senses to perceive it.
