Wonderful parable!
Of course, these days one cannot trust any of their senses. Just last night, my daughter had quite a laugh when I was duped by what proved to be an AI-generated video that was shared with me! But that is a different matter . . .
It is a worthwhile introspection to define what "knowing" means in great detail before trying to assess what one knows! Hearing something, or seeing it, or reading it, or smelling it, or touching or indeed even tasting it -- does that give one complete knowledge of it? Not always! One must be vigilant and thorough before elevating the state of any information to "knowledge".
