This reminds me of the famous joke by Richard Pryor, the one in which a
woman catches her husband in flagrante delicto, engaged in carnal congress
with another woman. The husband promptly jumps out of bed, and then
self-righteously addresses his wife thusly: "I didn't do anything! Who are
you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?"
Well, I personally do believe my lying eyes. I've seen in my own work the
difference it makes to work in 16 bits vs. 8 bits, and, yes, to me this IS
obvious. It's news to me that it needs to be proven. Adobe even saw fit to
support the 16-bit architecture in Photoshop, finally. I guess they are just
appeasing the mindless bleating flock, or are having hallucinations too, or
a dark agenda even...
But Mr. Margulis is a canny sophist, a man of rare verbal skills, and tries
to convince us that our lying eyes cannot be trusted.
Well, good luck, sir. I and a few friends will move on from here now. You
are welcome to join the rest of us if you should change your mind.
Good luck and best regards.
