You are 100% wrong. If the question to the person is "what this cloud look like", the answer might be "horse". If the question is then "is this a horse" the answer will be "no". We are able to distinguish between "it is like A" and "it is A". Period.

Some people hear voices in their heads. The healthy people dont.
Lets do not be schisophrenic about what we see.
