Exactly. No one can deny people see things. We want some standard of evidence that would have provision for achieving high probability of excluding "people seeing things".

You effectively have no standard of evidence and can be convinced by a whole hoste of mental phenomenon which is other cases have been show to be creations of the mind unrelated to reality.

You are arguing we should not lower our standard of evidence but ditch them all together, and accept not what feels good to us, but what feels good to you.
