Yes, and if you keep going on that speculation, you arrive at two options.

  1. Keep assuming our senses are real until there is a reason not to.

  2. Assume our senses are not real and attempt to discover what reality is.

Either way, science doesn't care because it's not about being right, it's about figuring out what is. Put another way: Change theories to suit facts instead of facts to suit theories.

What speculation? I haven't speculated at all.

I have no reason to believe senses are fake. Science is the study of our observations. That's what it is. Ergo, we assume our observations are real. I'm not arguing at all that they don't exist. But science starts with the "understanding" that our senses are reality.

You're arguing with yourself.

Hope it's fun for you.
