Weasel.
When a supernova occurs
when would we see it with our eyeballs or through a telescope, according to efferent vision? It is my understanding of Lessans claims that you believe we would see it instantly at the same time it occurs, without having to await the traveling light to reach Earth. Is my understanding of this aspect of efferent vision correct?
Seeing Columbus discovering America from a distance of 520 light years away is not empirically testable, so will always be a useless example. Seeing a supernova is empirically testable because we can see them with our eyes.
