Well, this was led by your suggestion that perceptual input wouldn't
override your own reality. Which is a pretty strong statement. I
gave a few instances where your reality is easily manipulated, and
in fact created by your perceptions. And that it can be altered.

Scientifically, the hypothesis you put out was 'There are no flying
pigs.' It's really hard to prove that true, just because you haven't
seen one. All it takes is one to disprove it. I gave about 3.
