[ If eyewitness testimony can be held to always be credible, then that calls into question wheater there can be such a thing as an illusion. ]

The "observer problem" persists depending on the vantage point..
What you(or I) see at some point is partial.. based on partial knowledge..
Unless you can "see/observe" the whole system even though valid, its partial..

Which makes the metaphor of the "body of christ".. even more significant..
Requireing many vantage points merged into one a "fuller vision"(more complete image) of reality..

It could take all of "us" to even see reality..

Or not, depending on the circumstances.

We are all aware of the observer problem, and at least some of us deal with it as best we can. Others, I’m not so sure about. Some, I sometimes think, try to use it to their advantage against the rest of us.
