I ought to have added that there is evidence to the effect that
persons blind from birth do nevertheless see and can describe
surgical operations being performed upon them or hover sightedly above
a near-fatal accident involving them.

Do I believe this to be the case? They might, for example, be
halluciating, or trying to gain attention ... . Indeed.

Also, and much more seriously, such reports appear to be mainly
contemporary, at least in the case of the unsighted.

Nevertheless, here we have something worth our attention and
exploration.

I wish you a merry Christmas - and a happy New Year!
