It is a dumb question. How would categorizing all our senses as "sense of touch" be in anyway useful? Why would we categorize obviously different things that work entirely differently as the same because, "at the end of the day, everything is atoms"
"Did you lose both your sense of touch and your sense of touch when you got COVID?"
"No, I thankfully, I only lost my sense of touch."
