Yes, but you are extensively quoting and then extrapolating from the
exceptions text rather than the
general text for illusions. I believe this leads you into a very different view of illusions to mine.
A truly summoned creature is certainly
really there in a way an illusion is not. It actually has real eyes for a start, whereas your illusion 'behaves as its master thinks the world is' not how it really is. So it's visual 'reports' aren't based on actual eyes, but on 'the mind of the wizard' and what he knows about the world. Compare with the passage on gates...
