According to the "commonsense view" of perception:
- it is impossible to have an experience of a cricket-like sound unless a cricket is making the sound you are hearing
- when you stop observing a rabbit on your lawn, the rabbit remains where it was for up to an hour
- by way of our sense organs, external things cause us to have beliefs that are fairly accurate
- if I have a false belief, that is always the result of a faulty sense organ
