reflected wouldn't that mean that which we perceive as white is actually black and that which we perceive as black is actually white. So in essence: wouldn't those which we call "black" be actually white; and those which we call "white" be actually black?

Your presumption is not correct. What you see, is the nature of that product, if Black, after absorption. If white, the reflected part.

I don't follow your logic at all. If we see only the light that is reflected, and white reflects light, how does that make it black?

These are semantics. Black and White are just words that we have used to try and describe the physical experience of percieving light.

when you touch an object does the object not touch you ?
isn't something one person considers right is considered wrong by someone else ?
and also is it not true that if we didn't see what light looked like we wouldn't know what darkness looked like ? or what is essentially the difference between both ?
the Truth is :: PERCEPTION changes everything.

That would make sence if it was worded with better rhetoric
