Otis:
I am growing increasingly tired by your behavior of ignoring questions
surrounding the theories you support.
I have asked you this question NUMEROUS times, and each time been
ignored.
My position/argument was that the normal adjustment/accomodation that
humans go through in the course of a normal day is different than that
of primates: we humans spend hours at a time staring at TV sets,
computer screens, et cetera, while primates do not - they change their
area of focus from the flea on their fur, to the horizon, to the bars
on their cages - they are VERY unlikely to be staring at an object the
same distance away for hours on end. Therefore, reason suggests, that
the muscles which affect the lens of their eye are behaving
differently, changing the shape of the lens more frequently. This
strikes me as a fundamental distinction between humans and primates.
Further, I argued that if there are fundamental distinctions in the
behavior of the muscles of the eyes of different species, that these
MUST be considered as variables in the development of their vision.
Before studies conducted on primates can be seriously extended to be
taken as relevant to humans, this variable should be quantified, and
ideally eliminated.
These MAY not be correct points, Otis, but they are reasonable. And
they deserve consideration by any empirically-minded,
scientifically-aware individual.
Will you now:
-Argue that the behaviors of humans versus primates are NOT different
in this regard?
-Argue that even though the behaviours and accomodations of primates
may indeed differ from those of humans, that these differences have no
effect on the development of the vision of the two species?
ADDRESS MY QUESTION. It is a reasonable question, and deserves a
response.
And PLEEEASE, do not just use rhetoric. PLEEEEASE, do not ask me to
visit chinamyopia.org. PLEEEEASE, do not ask me to read Steve Leung's
research.
What I am asking is SIMPLE.
