A closer look
Visual information heavily dominates your auditory perception, leading to a bizarre sensory illusion officially termed the McGurk effect; if you watch a video of a person mouthing a specific consonant but the audio track plays a completely different consonant, your brain will physically hear a third, blended sound that does not actually exist, largely because your highly sophisticated neurological hardware gets confused when the eyes and ears disagree, so it aggressively forces a compromise without ever asking for your conscious permission, proving that you cannot even trust your own basic senses to report reality accurately, as your brain is constantly remixing the external world behind the scenes like a heavily caffeinated disc jockey
