B2 point 54 in VERBS/patterns is defined as:
some verbs connected with the senses + direct object + an ‘-ing’ form, to give emphasis to an ongoing activity.
*I don’t believe B2 complexity should hinge on ‘activity’. It should also include a state. For example:
I don’t see myself being with anyone else but you, Sarah.
