No disagreement, Bernie, but didn't Kant say this two hundred years ago?

A prominent neuropsychologist, R. L. Gregory, has considered just this subject lately in an article titled "Perceptions of knowledge" (Nature, V 140 1 Mar 01) in which he points out the curious fact that vision and hearing (unlike taste and smell) give only indirect knowledge of affairs: we must "interpret" their 'images' - whereas those of taste and smell are frontline, battleground hands-on affairs as they are actually occurring.
