I remember and author, possibly Pratchette, decrying the phrase "I don't believe my eyes." Believe them or not, they are how you perceive the world, and you cannot act much in contrary to what they tell you.

That's an untenable position. I mean, Cocaine is a plant, too.
I mean, that's like claiming that he lied repeatedly and vociferously that jumping in the pool will not lead to getting wet. There is no way to believe that lie aside from deep, deep ignorance.
