Because he was born with eyesight just a little bit better than most
of us?


When I saw this thread, SJO leaped to mind. I've always thought that
the praise was artificial, some S&T hype. Who's to say the guy
doesn't have a good memory of images of the objects in question. If
*you* can't see it, its simpley proves the point. An easy game to
play. Its interesting to have someone serious convinced its
real...I'll have to reconsider.


SJO has been "tested" several times with known objects at known distances
(thus eliminating the "good memory" effect. He really can see more detail
farther away than virtually any of us can.
