Ah if only there was an interpersonal interface which transmitted all the intended meaning you have without distortion.
But that would require the person you were tranmitting to was also you, with all your past experiences and all the associations unique only to you.

Imagine if we could know by seeing. I mean knowing with complete understanding, like being given a photo of an alien planet and understand its history, composition and the meaning of all the living processes within and upon the planet. To see a galaxy and understand the life changes of a former quasar at its nucleus. To see a person and know their heart as you may know your own. Complete knowing by seeing would be like falling into an ultimate love.

So the answer is no Bill. You can expect any of your cogent remarks or arguments to be "gotten". At least not completely.

Understanding is far more rare than we dare admit. 10% would be amazingly high.
Hell, I couldn't even get you to look up and see an atmospheric phenomenon and contrast it to a time 16 years ago when it had never existed before.

March 8th has no conscious connection to the transient eclipse of Venus or any other solar eclipse or cosmic alignment. If it did I would be ridiculously lucky.
