Salyavin, I'm simply exploring this experience. Yes, our senses demonstrate the straightness of stick. We can touch it. We can lift it out of the water. We can understand how water and light work to create the optical illusion. But we still won't see the stick in the water as straight. For some reason, this boggles my mind. Which is a fun thing for me!

Please demonstrate that there is a transcendental field hidden from view. It sounds like a belief to me as no matter how hard we look it isn't like a bent stick is it? It appears ineffable, nothing depends on it and nothing is explained or improved by it. Which is another way of saying it isn't real I suspect.
