2. Bwhahahaha!
Seriously, he's an idiot. He's using sense in the widest interpretation possible, and he's listing some senses multiple times, because of his insane drive to subdivide everything into atomic units.

Of course, you'll never get anyone to agree on how many senses there are. Is heat included in touch? How about pain? Is your sense of motion included in your sense of balance? My anatomy teacher swore up and down there were only seven basic senses: Sight, Sound, Touch, Smell, Taste, Balance/Motion, and your sense of inner chemistry (your sense of what those little receptors monitoring your internal chemistry that tell you 'dammit, get a drink of water' or 'dammit, eat a pickle!'.
