It's difficult to denote illusions when you don't have some real thing to compare to the illusion. Why do people write such shit? You're still faced with the impossible task of showing that something doesn't exist, when 'something' is not well-characterized.
Even when it is well-characterized, showing something doesn't exist is difficult! What did you use to characterize it?
Not impossible, surely. You can experimentally take away control and if people still think they had it......voila.
Isn't that the point of those experiments?
