Whoever says "perception is reality" is daft. It's merely an abstraction, and often not a very good one.

Mmm. But it's also okay to think grammar is pointless and to not actually know anything about the arts, either. "I think reading is boring" is something one hears an awful lot, after all. It's simply becoming fashionable in some circles to be ignorant altogether.
