i think the whole bit implying that one has to be mentally ill or on drugs to see such a thing is kind of made in bad faith. for what it's worth, i certainly suffer from mental illness and i have been "out of this dimension" in terms of drug abuse in the past so to speak and i certainly have never witnessed such a thing in my life. so i find it hard to believe either of those things would make one more likely to perceive such things and view them in such a manner. if anything id be more willing to say that it would more likely be someone who has an overactive sense of confirmation bias, but of course I have no idea.
