The point that needs to be stressed, though -- and this is why, with all respect, it puzzles me why you and LadyShea keeping going round the mulberry bush with her on this -- is that it just isn't true that we see in real time. That is the point that needs to be stressed. Since we know we don't see in real time from examples by now too numerous to number, why discuss her nonsensical attempts to account for real-time seeing? There is no real-time seeing, as everyone but peacegirl knows, so if anything what should be done is her feet should be held to the fire on explaining the Mars and Jupiter's moons examples, among many others.
