Richard,

Thanks for response. But it surely *is* still a puzzle as to how and indeed where that distorted image on the retina gets rectified and raises major questions about vision. No one as, I understand, has the answer. I am too ignorant to have a POV here - but my general experience is that people/scientists faced by major unsolved problems, tend to proceed as if they do not exist (or will be solved in good time), when they should be racked by them.


Mike,

Have you ever considered that it is completely meaningless to look at the layout of wires coming from the retina and refer to the images carried by those wires as "distorted"?

If I get a bizarre new keyboard for my computer in which all the keys are in the reverse of their usual positions, will all the ideas that I express then suddenly become reversed? If all the keys were a different shape, with some being really huge and others quite small, will my ideas become distorted?
