But that's what you're trying to do with the 5 senses thing anyway, no? Why not just up the number to include a few more things like muscle-sense, balance, and so on? All this enumeration stuff (there are 9 planets, 5 senses, 3 classes of levers, etc.) is such a holdover from the medieval scholastic way of thinking, anyway.
Taste and smell (gustation and olfaction) aren't really the same thing; they combine to produce the sensation of flavor, but that's not really the same thing. You can still taste salty/bitter/etc without a sense of smell.
