Daniel Dennett says that the most parsimonious explanation for a mystery contradicts everything else we know, is that it's an illusion.

Illusionists want to consider that maybe there's something about the nature of the illusion that we're experiencing that's not fully explainable by studying the physical properties of the brain.
