Smell is the primary sense and the sooner that Computer Vision embraces that fact the better it will be for any system that needs any form of context sensitivity or relevance detection.
It's all well and good to have awesome algorithms for detecting X, Y, or Z in a stream of stimuli but it's smell that tells us which things to anticipate.

There is no "primary sense". It's primary only in terms of detecting molecules, but the presence or absence of molecules is just one environmental dimension.
