Well they got it backwards then. Truth is abstract, logical, of the word. Reality is direct sensory experience, of the image. Jaques Ellul wrote a whole book on the subject, The Humiliation of the Word, showing a relationship between these two realms - Truth vs. Reality and their correlation with the word vs. the image. He makes an eloquent point about our two differing ways of perceiving these different realms, our eyes giving us information about the world which we equate with reality and our ears processing language which we associate with truth. Yeah, and I know we process the written word with our eyes - but the part of our brain which processes words corresponds truth with a codified, logical matrix while images impose reality without much logical intervention. A picture is more efficient persuasion. A picture is worth a thousand words - to an advertising executive anyway.
