I’m inside my house right now with my eyes open. I couldn’t tell you how many windows it has without either looking at each wall or going through my memories, yet I’m not blind. So it is with visualisation. Your minds eye has a field of vision and just like in real life, you can focus on whatever you find interesting, manipulate it and move about.

You’re conflating memory and visualisation. You think that a visualisation of an imperfect memory isn’t a visualisation. Nobody’s claiming it’s a superpower, or really any different a way to live in the main, but I find your denial of people’s lived experience slightly odd.
