No, you're the one who's not understanding -- or at least is pretending that she's not understanding. The whole point of the experiment is that it measures how long it takes to see the reflection, and so demonstrates that it takes time to see the reflection. In other words, we don't see it in "real time."
How in the world can this be determined when light is traveling at a 186,000 miles a second and the distance that is being measured is so short? I don't see how this could be a reliable test to prove afferent vision.

In Earth based experiment the distance is too short and space ones don't count to you. You won't accept anything at all.
