Hate to bump up this thread, but you leave me no choice...
Perception, or observation, gives one empirical data. Empirical data, by definition, are the basis for the empirical sciences. Philosophy, in contrast, is primarily non-empirical. It deals with those questions which can not be answered empirically.
Simply put, what you gave was a very good example of what philosophy is not - an empirical science.
