 holograms around the wearers or something like that.  Chip's point, however,
 seemed to be that, in a world full of prisms, mirrors, and lenses, even
 *seeing* ain't necessarily believin', ya know?  
 
 So now TRP gives us two scientific denizens of the Enlightenment who spent
 the majority of their professional lives with one eye fixed to a lens--a
 thingy that gives a distorted (i.e.--false) view of what lies before their
 very reasonble eyes.   >>

If you will recall when M&D show Mr. Harland how to look through a telescope
and everything is upside-down. "You can do that?" I think this all fits in
with the "stolen" 11 days and all the other artificial demarcations of
science without thought to the human side.
