How could you possibly obtain accurate information about the distinguishing abilities of all Humans?

They are irrelevant for the question of this thread. No human can observe unobservable things by definition.

Then why did you mention it? And, you made a claim in response to my question...so what gives? This technique seems a bit unfair.
Regardless: is relevance objective? How is it measured?
Also: note that "are" is a conjugation of "is". This creates a bit of an epistemic problem does it not (considering your comment above)?

Religion is a classic counterpoint to this. Nonexistence is another. Relevance is another. Omniscience another. There are tons of examples, with new ones coming online every day!
Plus: does defining reality to be a certain way necessarily mean it takes on that form, or might it only cause it to appear to have taken on that form?
