Because, even if you did not know what it is, you would still see it. We
don't see it at all.

Good analogy Charles... I like the heat one a lot. But whether you hand
can sense heat or not, the heat is still there, right? In our case, sure
your brain wouldn't recognize it as blackness, but it could very well be
that's what you're seeing, though you don't know it. Not saying that it is
what it is, saying it possibly could be. Takin the heat analogy a bit
further, if you were to touch the stove, you'd probably burn your hand.
Your hand wouldn't recognize it as a feeling, no, but the burn still
hapened... and probably would leave a mark which would hurt on any other
person's hand. But because your hand has no sensory nerves on it, you
wouldn't be able to tell that it was supposed to hurt. In the same way,
how do we know that the fact that we see nothing isn't us seeing black,
but not knowing what it is?

I would think that if you used to be able to see, and you now get no
signals from your eyes, your brain would say, "You are seeing blackness."
If you have never seen, your brain does not know blackness and so you
don't identify it. If your eyes could see something that you don't
recognize as blackness, you would still see that something is there, but
not know what it is. Position your hand above a hot stove? Fell heat.
Position a hand that has no sensory nerves above that same stove? You do
not feel a lack of heat due to not having nerves. Instead, there is
absolutely no sense of heat, cold, or in between. There is nothing
whatsoever. The same with my eyes that have never seen. They don't see
nothingness, they see nothing.
