If we observe the realist closely, we will find that at some times he
relies principally on his eyes and, at other times, on his ears. When
different senses corroborate an error, we are still more baffled. The

straight stick, we still won't see it straight! Can all
But it's the senses that reveal that the stick isn't bent, you just have to
know a bit more about what you are looking at.
Please demonstrate that there is a transcendental field hidden from view. It
