Edgar,
We observe how they work through the senses. Understanding them this way is
perfectly circular. And that is our reality. So, I'd say, don't play it up as
something special. We have what we have and make of it what we will.
The understanding you build of things like this is a model. It is nothing
better or closer to reality than that. It is a model.
The view you express has a technical term, and it is not a put-down. It is an
accurate and polite categorization: "Naive Realism".
There you have it. Make of "IT" what you will, also.
Many of us have been there, done that. Especially the Scientists among us.
