Please don't be insulted, my comments were not meant that way, and I really value your thoughtful and intelligent input here on WS.. I have often looked at a picture and not right away been able to tell what it was, and my eyes/mind would see something totally different.. I'm talking about blown up or adulterated or whatever pics.. maybe even at times when one might see a pic (unclear perhaps) of something they have never seen before.. it makes me think of what it might be like to be a blind person who suddenly obtains vision.. might see it, but see it differently. Things like this (pics) have been blown up and analyzed in other cases as well, and pics take a real beating when this is done, and virtually anything can be seen by someone. Sometimes I will see something, and then realize what it really is (because say the pic had no perspective to give it meaning/familiarity of what it was), and I will think.. I wonder if that is sometimes how inventions are thought of, by someone perhaps seeing a pic differently than how it really was, but now that incorrect vision is burned into the mind of the viewer, as an idea..... I'm insulted with the implication that my imagination is seeing it. ...
And no, not your imagination (although nothing is wrong with imagination!!)... I also see what could be a cat, I just don't think it IS a cat. I think it is something else which is oblierated by the expansion of the pic and its resulting poor quality once expanded.
