@Adrian,
Please respect my beliefs! All this logic is muddying the issue! It is hard for an intelligent person to understand why she is such, but of such she is! You cannot disprove that she is both invisible and pink and I know that she is both because it makes sense!![]()

Trouble with that is it requires a re-definition of the word "real" ... IMO, things that exist in the mind still exist as thought. That is still detectable and the technology, although currently in very early stages, is being developed to visualise thought.
