Which is what makes your claim utterly and mind-bogglingly stupid. You are saying that if afferent vision is true, then we should always and without exception see planes before we hear them... even if we have poor vision, are looking in the wrong direction, or if the airplane is occluded by clouds.

Yes, this is the resolution explanation. It is the explanation provided by AFFERENT VISION and which works and makes sense for AFFERENT VISION only. It is an explanation that relies upon the dispersion of traveling light. It is NOT an explanation that makes any sense at all on the hypothesis of efferent vision. It is also something you clearly do not understand.

Yes it does. You are making shit up again.

Well, duh! Who's disagreeing with that? Obviously things that cannot be seen will not be seen. Your point?

Oh really? Do go on. Explain why the resolution/dispersion explanation does not work for afferent vision. Please also explain how it allegedly does work for efferent vision.

Of course they are. You blatantly invented your claim that we typically can hear airplanes before we can see them. That was grade A invented ignorant bullshit.
Bump.
