>all we ever get about aphantasia is self-report, anecdote, self-assessment questionnaire, subjective impression.

Is there any other way to get information on what people see internally?

The idea that great artists, for example, don't have dramatically different visualization than people who report not seeing sharp images or images at all seems like the theory in need of proof.

You can't just say the evidence is subjective so you're right. The evidence only ever could be subjective.

Did I say I'm right? I assume we're all wrong in ways yet to be discovered, that's my default position on everything. And I've modified my viewpoint slightly just now: I accept that there are loose groups of people who experience imagination differently. So I'm being decently open-minded here, what do you want, blood?
