Actually, the question of whether "table" is a logical or a physical construct depends on your perspective on the system.

Alfredo's world only admits of one point of view. The objects in the distance are either ogres, and Sancho Panza is deceived, or they are windmills, and Don Quixote is deceived. The possibility that there might be a little truth in both perceptions is too subtle.

You remember the blind men describing the elephant? The one who thinks it's like a rope will tell you not to listen to the one who thinks it's like a piece of paper. And if you ask him why not, he'll say: "that guy is blind!"
