And think about this optical illusion: Nearby objects look bigger than distant objects. Yet we don’t think this as an illusion at all, because we are so good at adjusting to it.
Ayn Randians extend that to everything. According to them,the bent stick illusion isn’t an illusion because sticks are supposed to look bent in water.

Can you taboo “supposed” there?
(Also, I think they’re called “Objectivists”)
Not everyone gets the big-O small-o distinction.
It’s not really my theory, but O-ists define “illiusion” in such a way that only miraculius exceptions to the laws of nature could be iillusions.
