An insect that sees ultraviolet light doesn’t see it how we see it
It was showing a representation in the visible light spectrum of what the visor can detect
the insect’s brain evolved to process insect’s available sensory input, so did human’s. so geordi would see exactly the same reducted picture that we see on the viewscreen, because that is the only thing our brain knows how to do.
and you are still narrowing this discussion to subset of the facts. there is still the fact of visor being piece of technology that can be lost, malfunction, causes occasional pain and allows its wearer to be hacked by romulan intelligence. i don’t call that superior to my eyes.
anyway, i don’t think we will progress further in this discussion, so until next time 🖖

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.

Yes. And there are ways in which it’s superior. Data called them superior too. It’s not wrong to call it superior.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I think you are very much mistaken there.
when your arguments get rejected, you try to make me angry by saying “calm down”? that is pretty pathetic discussion tactic.
VISOR:
no proof it can match the visible spectrum of human eyes, in spite of your lies and unfounded assumptions
causes pain and headaches
can malfunction
can get lost or stolen
can be exploited by romulan intelligence to turn you into zombie
no reasonable person consider that superior to human eyes, which is why there weren’t people standing in line to gouge their eyes out and replace them with visor.
i don’t plan to run in circles with you until xmas, so bye and welcome to my blocklist
You made statements that I disproved (e.g. that human brains are incapable of processing anything not in the visible light spectrum), then you became aggressive that I did so.

Yes there is.
causes pain and headaches
Rarely, but yes. So can normal eyes though.
can malfunction
See above.
can get lost or stolen
Yep.

None of that means they’re objectively inferior.
Geordi wanted to keep his visor and bionic eyes.
