You can never observe a cat, in fact. You can observe the correlates of a cat, things like seeing a furry impression gifted to you by your sensory system and processed through many layers of revision...but you can't observe a cat.
Also...the cat knows things that you, the cat researcher, just don't.
Like I said, I'm certain that you're confusing being able to watch a show a person is watching, and knowing whether or not they're watching a show. You'd gag if you knew how many times this conversation has been had on the boards. That's "what the cat knows"..that you don't, or what the subject knows, that you don't. Here you are, deadset on having some argument with me about methodological disagreements, but that's not what makes something a stolen concept or rescues it from being one, either.
That would be asserting, and thus requiring, the validity of any methodology while simultaneously attempting to disprove it's validity. Or, you know, just not doing that, because you don't have to. You can still attempt to disprove that validity, you just need a valid preamble to replace the self refuting one, and you can even be right about it!
