Hi Murchovski.

A good question, but in my experience most teachers are quite careful to word it "like" an illusion, by way of analogy in a sense. As in "mere appearance", sort of pointing to what element was saying about the impermanent and transient nature of all phenomena. By saying "like an illusion", this can help to sway us from entertaining a nihilistic view.

The "very short" answer...
