I assure you, planets existed outside of our solar system before 1600.

Of course they did. But since humans had no idea they existed, humans could not assign importance or unimportance to them. That's the only point I'm making. It's really a quite simple point.

I'm glad that you were able to have an experience of Klein. He was an extraordinary teacher.

My argument is that the differences are
significant before anyone comes along to notice them.

Why? What made the differences significant? I'm merely trying to get you, too, to understand what the thesis is.
