Five senses; taste, touch, smell, sight, hearing, acceleration, temperature, body configuration, pain, balance, time, hunger....

Acceleration, temperature, body configuration (positioning), pain, balance and hunger are all related to touch in one way or another.

Time, however, is legit. Along with emotion. Maybe you could call the 6th sense cognition?

Proprioception (body config) is actually feedback from the muscles.

Also they forget or were unaware of the most interesting sense: CO² chemoception. It is how our lungs tell if we need air.
