Taste maybe the weakest but the least reliable for accuracy is Eyesight.

People are most often deceived by their sight than any other of the 9 senses.

As far as efficieny, smell is pretty weak. The olfactory sensors are located high in the nostril where they have bad exposure to smells. That is why we must "sniff" something to smell it, to give the sensors a sudden blast of air that contains the smell.
