There is always the danger of a sort of solipsism in regarding only those things which we can perceive, or are compatible, or allowable to our structures.

The example I always use is the infrared patterns on flowers that look like runways to the pollen for bees, but which we cannot see.

I hear you (I think), lds23. But then these solipsistic "filters" can filter out Reality only so long.... At the end of the day, the tail does not wag the dog.
