So, in other words, you detect quanta by inference, not by direct observation, just as is the case with dinosaurs.

As a matter of fact, we do not 'see' light. What we see is the light's reflection on objects. The light waves themselves we do not see at all. That is why you can be in a direct path in space between the sun's light waves and the lighted earth and still not see the light.
