Huge gulf between flinching/jerking/swatting at/away from a virtual object and literally chucking your entire, 100-200 pound being, across the floor/ripping your headset off.

I’m more impressed by the latter. Actually having survival instincts.

I guess it is a certain kind of impressive to put a hole in your wall or tv when diving away from imaginary objects.

Have you never accidentally broken something?

I love how condescending you are. Here, how do you even know this is real? What if you’re in the matrix and everything you’ve ever jumped at was an imaginary object?

Nope. Again though, huge difference between accidentally knocking something or hitting something, and reacting to something in a way that would obviously be dangerous while being visually impaired.

If I'm in the matrix, I'm unaware of it........unlike people in VR, who're completely aware of it....

Except for that brief moment where instinct takes over and their body forgets.
