Hym "That fact that I can be deceived has no relationship to whether or not my perception of reality is accurate. The fact that I can be deceived is entirely irrelevant. Am I being deceived? No. Was my conclusion correct? Yes. If we are in the desert. And I say 'It looks like there is an oasis over there!' And we walk over there and there is, in fact, an oasis... You don't get to look at me and say 'but it could have been a mirage! You almost got us killed because that could have been deception!' It's ridiculous. The fact that people can be deceived does nothing to undermine the fact that my perception of events is and was consistent with objective reality. And that is exact what you are trying to do. Undermine the method used to reach the conclusion to obfuscate the truth of the conclusion. It's just gaslighting. That's it. And you are only doing it to me because I'm a part of the class you are justified I doing whatever you want to."
