Aaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhh!!! This is what I've been saying the whole
time, with the exception that I term "process" slightly differently. Just
because your visual cortex makes an image, doesn't mean you know what it's
an image of. Capturing the signal at the optic nerve or visual cortex
just gives you a "picture," nothing more.
