This delusion applies to far more then merely typology, it is a pervasive illusion.
We do not and perhaps cannot know absolute reality, but that doesn't mean our delusions are empty.
Socionics would view the conscious mind as a mechanism that process a portion of the available information(via avaliable senses/processing units, possibly aided by tools), and thru specialization via information preference forms a picture of the world. So socionics is like a picture of a picture of (likely just another picture), who knows when the pictures end and absolute reality begins. And frankly, people generally just give up and just believe in God or the Universe or some other such convenience. However, for those of a curious mindset, that picture of a picture of a picture of probably pictures is interesting and fun and might even provide a advantage in the games which we play in life.
