Using "observe" instead of "see" makes no difference. You still observe your arm being bent when partly submersed in water, any explanation why we observe it so is simply that: an explanation or theory. The point is that most people do not go on observation alone and use their ratio more than they suspect, just like in this case. It is exactly this ratio which depends highly on what "is written down" or "what other people told us".
Re your second point, explain why the velocity of light (in vacuum) is constant using current physics.
