You can have false data as working data. That's how fraud, delusion,
etc. are possible.

Consider also this case:
A 'color-blind' person goi koha and a non-'color-blind' person goi
kohe are looking at an apple and an orange. Kohe says the two fruits
have different colors. Koha says they have the same color. Both koha
and kohe are truthfully reporting the sense data they each perceive of
the fruits. Koha's and kohe's datni represent relative facts. But
fatci1 is defined to be 'in the absolute'. Whose sense data should be
exclusively referred to as {facydatni}? In other words, whose datni
would you consider as being *not* of reality?
