This presents a quandary because it seems the same underpinnings, such as theory of mind, are responsible both for the projection that others have minds, which seems reasonable, and the projection that there are disembodied minds, which is less so. We don't have rational control over what these underpinnings end up delivering to us because they are underneath the rational. We take the reasonable with the unreasonable and hope for an intelligent way to sort them out. But because both come from the sub layer, both seem real.
