If I saw my name on your response, I might have responded earlier. I just happen to stop and see it. Would you mind? Thanx. Just leave it there when you hit the 'quote' button...

That is refuted. An obsolete notion that is dieing slowly. What we think to be an 'external' reality, is an
'appearance' to Perspective, and a 'belief' in that 'appearance' to be 'reality'.
'Consensus' has no relation to 'truth/reality'. Consensual ignorance remains ignorance.

I'm kind of saying that if one person perceives a chair to be at a place, and another person perceives it not to be there, that one of them is wrong.

No! If there are two people in the universe, and they are both looking at a floor and one sees a chair on it and the other does not, standing there, there is no way to show that one is 'right' and one 'wrong'. Thats what Einstein said with his 'relativity'. Two people pass in space; is one moving and the other still? Both moving? There is no way to determine, no 'universal referrence point'.
Because one Perspective does not 'agree' with the local consensus does not make them 'wrong' or 'incorrect'.

Not just opposite, but contradictory. I'm under the impression that two contradictory things or statements cannot coexist. Of course, quantum mechanics would argue with me in this respect.

Not 'argues with you', but refutes your 'impression', period. Obsolete.
Which makes you 'wrong'! Hahahahaha!
Seriously, maintaing your 'obsolete notion' puts your 'impression' on the subject out-of-reach of evidence, logic, rationality, into the land of 'belief', religion.
Your 'impression' needs to download the 'critical update' or face becomming obsolete, and a 'belief'.

All Perspectives (POVs) are limited (to one extent or another).
