The time-lag argument for the representational theory of perception
Annette, I fear that--as always--I have been far too elliptical. My comment was intended as a friendly reductio ad absurdum. Perhaps absurdity survives electronic transmission about as well as irony and most forms of humor in general.

Of course I'm not bemoaning anything. I'm saying that if a few microseconds matter, then nano- or even femtoseconds matter also. Please note the hypothetical. I am saying nothing more than that the original argument has a very peculiar focus, and that the requirements for "direct" perception are absurd.

"What does it matter?" Indeed! Precisely! (In other words, I think we agree.)
