    When 7 billion people look at a red dot they don't all see a red dot

    That's right. Some of them are colorblind, so they see a 'darkish' dot instead of a fully red dot. We can diagnose that and let them know there is a problem with their senses. Further, we can look inside their eye and notice some of their rods and cones are defective, hence the reason they can't see a red dot. Therefore, we know the dot actually should be red.

    Or, alternatively, we could measure the wavelength of light emitted by the dot, and find that it corresponds to the energy level most associated with red. Thus, we've confirmed it two different ways.

    Get to the point.

    But you also use your sensing and reasoning to validate your senses and reasoning

    No. I'm using my senses and reasoning to validate every other human being's senses and reasoning. They in turn, validate theirs with mine.

    I've said that once already, and you ignored it. My best guess says that you will ignore this post too.

    Your using your senses and reasoning to validate everyone's else's senses and reasoning but you use everyone else's senses and reasoning to validate yours

    Sort of. Each person's senses and reasoning are validated by everyone else's. Obviously I am not the center of humanity where everyone comes for their yearly 'senses validation'. This works quite well with 7 billion people.

    When 6.9 billion people see a red dot, and we know exactly why the remaining 100 million people see a darkish dot, you know there's a red dot there.

    Get to the point.
