..cheating is the only way to create an illusion...

Quoted... Might use it again. Agree with (almost) all of what you say as a good summing up. Could go on about perceived reality or perceived truth, but then I would end up with courtroom stories about witnesses - or Ibsen's livsløgn. As long as we acknowledge that we only glimpse reality, it is not too bad staying in the illusion. How is that for quasi...bar talk? ok
