Yes, smell is a very important component of taste.... just as your
nose is a very important component of sound. If you question this:
Pinch your nose to block off air and make the sound /n/, and don't say
"nuh".... say /n/ as in "needle". Now hold your nose and say /ng/ and
in "song/long". No sound (if you're doing it properly).... no matter
how hard you try.

Conclusiion: Catuions about cutting off your nose even have deeper
meanings.
