Okay, so people can't see a bicycle when it's in front of them either, point granted.

How does that prevent people from precisely replicating that phenomenon in their mind, and why does that not count?

Regardless of how you define "seeing", people can do it in their brains, and their visual cortexes light up. It's a bell curve phenomenon, so the average person can't draw a bicycle, some people can't picture a bicycle at all, and some people can describe the rust on their 1969 Schwinn in detail.

How is any of that falsification of the idea of internal visualization?
