Like seeing sexual undertones in all male/female interactions despite simple counterexamples?

No. Schizophrenia assumes that you cannot communicate your beliefs to others, assuming you believe that they exist. That is why they are insane: we cannot understand their reality.
Belief is not a deduction. It is not an empirical conclusion. Belief is an axiom, a choice made beforehand to corroborate observations. The first belief, that reality exists, is necessary before you can presume a second belief, that the reality is communicated to you through your senses, which gives way to a third belief, that what is reported to you is indeed accurate.
