Do you take this position with people who are actively delusional or hallucinating (medically)? In my world I have to be able to deny claims that are mental constructs and state that they do not exist (except as mental constructs).
I completely understand your position but I can't operate in a strictly philosophical world.
Delusion of a few = mental illness
Delusion of many = organized religion, which insists on being respected.
It will be interesting to see if the gap narrows. I doubt I'll be alive to experience it.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
