Yeah, but is a stool a chair? How about a recliner?

Is a milk crate a chair? It can be used as one if you turn it upside down and sit on it.

Different people perceive the same stimmuli in different ways hence the idea that reality is subjective rather than objective.

Take the various posts in this thread (or on this board by extension) for instance. Some see the posts in this thread as an iquiry into personal perspective while others contend that "yes" the chair was really there and to suggest anything else denies reality.

Conflicting interpetations of the same stimmuli. Who is right and who is wrong? Is reality objective or subjective?
