Wait, are you claiming that Carol's sight of the thermometer is objective knowledge about the world, compared to the hot-or-coldness of her hands which is subjective? That seems definitely wrong. Carol sees by interpreting some visual SIAPs to be about a thermometer, which she has learned is best explained as some function of an objective temperature, just like how her thermal SIAPs are best explained as function of the objective temperature.
I agree with you (I think; I would phrase it a bit differently). Sorry if I was unclear. The subjective aspects are especially readily identifiable in the hot hand / cold hand scenario, which is why I picked it to be my example.
