My point exactly.
I really can’t name many, but for instance nociception is the sense of pain and proprioception is the sense of where your body is in space.
A blind and deaf man can direct his hands so that his index fingers meet. And feeling isn’t the same as pain.

Some examples of human absolute thresholds for the nine to 21 external senses.
So there a bit of debate about how many senses we have, but it’s definitely more than six.
I’ve heard the 5 senses justified in that they are the 5 “external” senses and the rest are about internal sensing like your sense of hunger. It’s still a bit of a reach but much better than the pure classical view.
True, but even with the external ones, you still get at least six.
Sensory systems, or senses, are often divided into external (exteroception) and internal (interoception) sensory systems. Human external senses are based on the sensory organs of the eyes, ears, skin, nose, mouth and the vestibular system.
