I've added 彼の目に狂いはない as a sentence linked to sense 2.

koj, daij, gg5, prog, etc.

gg5 splits out ぐるい.  all other sources keep together
  Comments:
those would be applications of the new sense 2.  (gg5 adds a separate sense for this, but IMO their glosses are no more helpful than the ones here).  if it's felt that they are not obvious, 耳に狂いはない etc. could be submitted as new entries, but they may be more appropriate as example sentences

彼の目に狂いはない
  Comments:
Hi, as  I understand this, this in the form 目に狂いはなかった / 耳に狂いはなかった
is often used to say that 'I did see/hear correctly' or 'It was not a trick of
my senses' or 'It was not just my imagination'.

f.ex. 「いた、やっぱり女の子がいたよ。俺の耳に狂いは無かったな。」

Would this sort of  information fit in here?
