Dogs cannot recognize their masters from a picture, which no one has proven. I know this is not proof, but for people to say that dogs can do this, is absurd.

You cannot prove that they cannot recognize their masters from a picture. So your belief in this matter is baseless. There is evidence from experiment that they can recognize human faces from photographs....not proof no. But definitely evidence.

All you have offered is anecdotes about the family dog and Skype, with the dog's behavior being interpreted through your strong bias towards Lessans being 100% correct in his statements about this issue.

So, you are the absurd one in my opinion.

You believe that the circumstantial evidence that the afferent account provides proves him wrong, but you really don't know for sure.

I know for sure that light that encounters matter, but is not absorbed or transmitted, reflects and travels. This can be directly observed by anyone and can be replicated at will under controlled conditions and accurately measured.

You assert that light that is not absorbed does not reflect and does not travel, meaning that you are 100% wrong.

You do not understand why everything we see is already within optical range because of how the eyes work, not how light works.

I do not understand that because you have been unable to offer any explanation of how the eyes supposedly work in your account, and your explanation attempts to date require that light works differently than it is known and observed to work.
