    Incorrect. There have been humans born with an extra come in their eyes due to a mutation, and those people could see extra colours. There are people who get damaged lenses on their eyes that let them see a bit of ultraviolet.

    there is no way to know what they see and how it differs from normal sight.

    Data called them superior too.

    yeah, this whole discussion started by me pointing this fact and the consequent contradiction. nice circle you have there.

    It’s not wrong to call it superior.

    the only person in the world who was qualified to decide that abandoned it as soon as he could. that makes it very wrong to call them superior.

      Of course there is. When shown both, they can discern the difference, proving they look different. If they looked the same, they would not be able to discern the difference.

      yeah, this whole discussion started by me pointing this fact and the consequent contradiction. nice circle you have there.

      But there’s not really a contradiction. Plus I’d appreciate less passive-aggressiveness. There’s no need to be angry just because you’re mistaken.

      the only person in the world who was qualified to decide that abandoned it as soon as he could.

      ?? Explain how he abandoned it? He kept bionic eyes.

      that makes it very wrong to call them superior.

      Considering it was explicitly stated to be superior, he could see more, he turned away from wanting natural sight, and he stuck with bionic eyes, I think you are very much mistaken there.
