Yes, those sorts of considerations are clearly why there is a difference between our inner intuitive model of space and time and that spacetime that actually exists out there in the world. All I was saying was that if there really was no spacetime out there in the world and it was all some sort of cognitive illusion then there wouldn't be such divergences between the intuitive and "measured" structure of space and time (where "measured" in the case in which there is no external spacetime would have some strange meaning like "deduced from less obvious features of our supposed sensations").
