As I said previously what you claim for yourself is not relevant. What is relevant is that whatever you wish to call the object being measured, it is measured, now, directly.
Directly--with an expensive array of instruments that can detect beyond the range of your senses, and which require a huge database and massive computation time using mathematics that didn't exist 100 years ago. Without massive induction, you cannot sense discrete photons, just as I cannot sense actual dino mutational mating events, directly.
