One year ago (the discussion below is from Oct 2011) she claimed to have not added those words at all....that she "found them" sometime between then and now

But this is a wholly fallacious observation where the eyes are concerned because
nothing from the external world, other than light, strikes the optic nerve as stimuli do upon the organs of hearing, taste, touch and smell.

Lessans said that did he? So when exactly did he add "other than light", peacegirl?
That was not present in the sentence back in 2006

Sure looks like you did more editing to correct what Lessans very clearly was wrong about (like with molecules). |
I did not edit that. I might have found "other than light" in another one of his books. I have gone through 7 books and he changed the sentences to clarify them, not me. I improved on the sentence structure, or changed a few words. I also added some examples. But I swear I did not add "other than light." |
Which version were you working from when you were discussing this 5 years ago? Quite frankly I don't believe you didn't add it. In fact, I think you added it specifically because everyone on that forum told you that light hits the eyes. |
That's not true. That was his sentence whether you believe it or not. |
