This is one of the points where Kant and I disagree. He says your senses lie.

It's not your sensory input that is lying to you, it is, in this case, a willful misinterpretation of the data. In other cases it could be delusion or denial.

Wolf can attest to the power of hallucinations, be they auditory, visual, or in this case, gustatory.
