"One pixel on a computer screen is very different from every other pixel on a computer screen...."Are these differences important or not?" You know very well they are. And it doesn't matter whether every other person except you and me are actually rocks and could care less. If anyone is discussing the issue then it is important to them because it affects their life. You know you could not communicate in this medium without pixels operating in an objective manner. The objectivity of pixels is not critical....but it IS significant.

One pixel on a computer screen is very different from every other pixel on a computer screen. And some pixel's are objectivly more different from each other then other pixels. If you have two pixels next two each other in the center of a computer CRT screen with the exact same shade of red and the same brightness on the same computer monitor, they are different but they are less different then a green pixel in the corner. There is some objectivity when you consider differences between differences. Some things are more different then other things. Perhaps "more important" is the wrong word to express this point, but I care more about the point then the word used so if you would prefer a different term I can use that. Tim
