Somethings are more personal and subjective than other things
imo

If I have a tree in front of me
and I close my eyes to visualize it
chances are my visualized tree will look quite a bit like the tree in 3d- I could probably ask other people to look at the tree, we could talk about how well our perceptions of the tree line up- we have an outside reference
if you are looking at a tree, and you type to me on the net, and ask me to visualize your tree, how good of an impression am I likely to get of your tree, even if you describe it to me? If we got together in 3d and looked at the tree, I would probably not recognize it.
