    Hello darkness, my old friend
    You're acting like the word "look" is always, or even usually, meant in opposition to reality. That's not true at all. If I say that the Miami Heat look like a championship contender, that doesn't imply "but really aren't a championship contender."

    "Look" can either mean "appear, in opposition to the actuality" or "is, to my observation." I would say that the second is at least as common a usage and probably much more so.
