I can disagree with a cliche if it’s true, or if it’s not.
False cliches are just as trite as true cliches. (& vis-a-vis)

Nice sidestep.

…systematic perception, is also a human construct - an attempt to control input and define data so that it can be perceived in accordance with known reality.

This definition is circular, because we only know reality via perception.

It was Immanual Kant who said that conception without perception is empty; perception without conception is blind. Of course, he first published it in 1781, so you might consider the quote to be old and worn out - and may or may not consider it - or anything else - to be true.

To systematize perception is akin to applying logic or mathematics; it is a method of maximizing reception while minimizing error.
