title: The distinction between perception and judgment, if there is one, is not clear and intuitive.
abstract: Firestone & Scholl (F&S) consider the distinction between judgment and perception to be clear and intuitive. Their intuition is based on considerations about visual perception. That such a distinction is clear, or even existent, is less obvious in nonvisual modalities. Failing to distinguish between perception and judgment is therefore not a flaw in investigating top-down effects of cognition on perception, as the authors suggest. Instead, it is the result of considering the variety of human perception.
