Whether or not that is assigning "blame," as Greg denies it was intended to do, it certainly assigns causation, in a way that I find just empirically, veridically incorrect. From Wordnik.com. [Hillary Hits Critics For Taking Her RFK Assassination Remarks "Out Of Context"] Reference
They might then hold that this layer of existential content, which is present in experience whether or not one is veridically perceiving the world, provides a common mental factor for veridical and hallucinatory experiences. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference
If one accepts that the same kind of conscious experience occurs in all three cases, then this imposes a constraint on the account one can give of the kind of mental event that occurs when one veridically perceives the world. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference

On this formulation, the disjunctivist is committed to denying that whatever fundamental kind of mental event occurs when one is veridically perceiving the world, that kind of event can occur whether or not one is veridically perceiving. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference
So this version of the causal argument can accommodate the disjunctivist's claim that there are significant non-causal conditions necessary for the occurrence of the kind of experience that occurs when one veridically perceives the world. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference
The proponent of this modified causal argument claims that there are no non-causal conditions necessary for the occurrence of the kind of experience that occurs when one hallucinates that cannot also obtain when one veridically perceives the world. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference
According to an epistemological disjunctivist when you veridically perceive the world you have available to you perceptual evidence about the mind-independent world which isn't available to you when have a subjectively indistinguishible hallucination. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference
In making out, or trying to make out what it is that we are confronted with, we may go wrong, and make false judgements, but when we are misled in this way, this is not because our senses non-veridically represent to us that the world is a certain way. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference

On the assumption that experiences with the same color phenomenology will have the same color content, this thought experiment challenges the simple theory we began with, since it purports to describe a case in which a G-experience is an experience of veridically seeing red. From Wordnik.com. [The Contents of Perception] Reference
For example, the model in the Burger & Lande paper, cited above as a counter-example to the claims that fitness cannot “veridically” be computed in a way that references the global optimum, is only intended to capture some aspects of stabilizing and directional selection.

John Campbell (2002a, 2002b, 2005) has argued that there is an important connection between the nature of the conscious perceptual experience that occurs when we veridically perceive the world and our ability to think demonstratively about the mind-independent objects that we perceive. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference
Since this naïve realist account of phenomenal character cannot be applied to hallucination, those who propose it are committed to the claim that the kind of phenomenally conscious episode that occurs when one veridically perceives the world does not occur when one is hallucinating. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference
Moreover, according to this view, the epistemic difference between a veridical perception and a subjectively indistinguishible hallucination is not to be explained by simply citing factors that are external to the subjective experiential state one is in when one veridically perceives the world. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference
They suggest that one may hold a naïve realist view according to which mind-independent objects, such as tables and trees, are constituents of the experience one has when one veridically perceives the world, without being committed to a further claim about what the essence of such episodes consists in. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference
They also note that naïve realism is often motivated by phenomenological considerations, and they question whether introspective reflection on the phenomenology of the experience one has when one veridically perceives the world puts one in a position to learn anything about the essence of the experience one is having. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference
Along related lines, Sturgeon (1998) suggests that the disjunctivist who denies that it is possible to provide a positive account of the phenomenal character of a hallucination does not have the resources to explain adequately how it is that having a hallucination of an F can provide one with positive knowledge concerning what it is like to veridically perceive an F. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference
Those advocating this form of disjunctivism place emphasis on the idea that when one veridically perceives the world one has a distinctive form of epistemic contact with the mind-independent world, and one's experience provides one with grounds for making knowledgeable perceptual judgements about the mind-independent world that would be lacking if one were merely hallucinating. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference
Hinton argued that we should understand a statement about how things sensorily appear to a subject to be equivalent to a disjunctive statement that either one is veridically perceiving such and such or one is suffering an illusion (or hallucination); and such statements are not to be regarded as making a report about a distinctive mental event or state that is common to these disjoint situations. From Wordnik.com. [Petty Injuries] Reference
The suggestion is that one can accept the claim that there is an epistemically distinguished category of experiential state that can only obtain when one veridically perceives the world, and yet one can consistently maintain that it is also possible to identify a kind of perceptual state, of which some positive account can be given, which can obtain whether one is veridically perceiving the world, or merely having a subjectively indistinguishible hallucination.
