Am I correct in assuming you believe there is one interpretation that is
accurate and there are others that are not?

I'm curious what you think about the argument that everything is an
illusion, that facts are products of subjective experience, that we each
construct very personal realities using our senses and our ability to
assimilate and accommodate, and that my reality is necessarily different
from yours because our experiences (and maybe our sensory apparatus) are
different. I'm curious what implications your statement might have for
Piagetian learning.
