The bit where they said something along the lines of, “There is no bad smell, only perceptions of scents” reminded me of the color paradox. It’s like this… Point to an object and ask someone what color it is. They’ll say the right color obviously. But here’s the problem… are they actually seeing the same color? There’s no way to tell, because they’ve already attached that label to that color. In essence, everyone could be seeing colors differently, and there’s no way to know.
