Concession: vision is harder to think about than most sensations, because it seems so tightly bound to reality. Easy to think that what's on the back of your retina is the world.

Actually, since we rely upon vision so heavily, we know the most about the 'illusions' it can produce.

No one who has even casually studied how vision works can take "seeing is believing" seriously.
