Right. the statement "Here’s a photo of a Christmas tree, as my camera’s sensor sees it" is incoherent.




Don't you think you're being a bit too pedantic? Nothing really "sees". Eyes also do gather light and the brain analyzes the signals. We've invented a word for it but the word is a high level abstraction that could easily be applied to a camera sensor as well.

You missed the point. I could say more, but not to some random person who chooses to insult me.

Saying you're being too pedantic is an insult? Wasn't intended to be.

Random ad hominem criticisms from strangers are insulting. Stick to substance and stop insulting people and then pretending you didn't.

Over and out.


At some point after ever conversation terminates in you getting a "random ad hominem" you have to re-evaluate the thought process that led you to that point.
