Did he qoute cases of people being blind for a lifetime or a large chunk
of it and after an operation, gets to see (That happens, right? I
haven't just been watching too much TV, right? :)? Or how about people
going permanently blind? It works both ways ... someone unable to see
suddenly seeing is going to have an equivelent chance of going bonkers as
someone seeing suddenly going blind ...
All in all, I doubt what he said is true. :)
