The moons of Jupiter experiment has been repeated many thousands of times over hundreds of years, and it's disproved Lessans' claims every single time. This is just one of many experiments that disprove Lessans but it's probably the oldest one and can be carried out with only about a hundred dollars worth of equipment. We've repeatedly urged you to try this experiment for yourself, but although you're prepared to spend thousands of hours on internet forums arguing about this topic, you are not prepared to give maybe ten hours of your own time (spread across a whole year) towards the 'more empirical testing' that you say you want.

I don't think anyone in this thread has hand-waved away that observation, and many of us still don't understand why, even if it's true, it supports Lessans' theories about seeing. In my opinion you have yet to provide a coherent account of why you think this 'fact' (assuming for the sake of argument that it is a fact) supports the efferent model rather than the afferent one.
