That’s just the point specious. Observation shows us very clearly that if the eyes were a sense organ, dogs would easily recognize their masters before smell.

Oh, is that what it shows, peacegirl? And what about humans — by your own logic, observation shows us very clearly that if the nose were a sense organ, humans would easily smell their dogs before seeing them. Do you even understand what you write, and how stupid it is?

Your logic is off David. Seeing would always come first regardless of afferent or efferent vision. You just can’t bear the thought that Lessans could be right.

Can you not even understand what you write? Since I easily recognize dogs by sight, and never by smell — in fact, I don’t smell dogs at all — then by YOUR OWN “logic,” we should conclude that the nose is not a sense organ.
And, no, peacegirl, seeing does NOT “always come first.” Some species don’t even HAVE eyes. A great many species have VASTLY better vision than humans, including all birds. Sight is primary for some, not primary for others. As usual, you have zero idea of what you’re babbling about.
