Bullshit. Do you notice that your sentence doesn't even make sense? Are you saying that the sense organ collects stimuli and then goes to the brain and interprets them there?
Sense Organ | Definition of sense organ by Merriam-Webster

a bodily structure that receives a stimulus and is affected in such a manner as to initiate excitation of associated sensory nerve fibers which convey specific impulses to the central nervous system where they are interpreted as corresponding sensations

Exactly. The sense organs do not do any interpretation at all. I agree with you that receiving the stimuli is only half the entire process, and
it's the only part the sense organs actually do. The other half is cognitive, not sensory. What is confusing you about that? It is just as true for the ears, nose, and skin as it is for the eyes.
Your sentence should read:
Regardless of what it's called, sensing stimuli from the outside world and interpreting it the brain to determine what to do with that information is the very definition of sense organ.

The only difference is the type of stimuli they respond to.
