    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?

    • 2.Explanatory burden should track theoretical simplicity and empirical adequacy, not correspondence to subjective experience structure.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim conflates psychological accessibility with metaphysical truth, treating what seems obvious as what must be ontologically real.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Theories contradicting phenomenology require explaining away widespread, consistent human perceptual testimony without independent justification.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Sound properties theories grounded in experience face lower explanatory burdens than those requiring radical revision of what we directly perceive.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
