Bit late to the party here - It's enhanced because synesthesia, as it's real-life condition, isn't the same as it's fictional counterpart. Actual synesthesia is more so a form of 'involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway', which is just a fancy way of saying one form of sensory input triggers another that is usually unrelated i.e. seeing certain shapes may trigger someone with synesthesia to taste a certain flavour. Where as, the fictional synesthesia (or Enhanced Synesthesia) the person with the condition will to able to accurately make out factual details or a scene instead of just perceiving something on an entirely personal level.
