I don't think it's just that take for example when Kirito fought Suguo he altered the pain control feeling for Kirito and when Kirito log in as admin he did the same so even after he was logged out Suguo's eye and arm were in so much pain that he had to resort to painkillers despite them not really being physically harmed. The brain is shaped by imagination and appearances but it also controls the body to a severe extent, because when you feel pain it isn't actually the limb that is damaged it is your brain processing the nerve signals about the damage and you understand it as your limb being damaged.
