You know why that little narrative works? Because it's impossible for the blind to see. No amount of explaining sight will ever bring the blind closer to being able to see. It has nothing to do with what you're looking at, it has nothing to do with any enhanced conceptual framework that you possess and that they do not. They simply cannot see, they suffer no lack of comprehension (and can,....and do build spatial "maps" of objects upon other metrics up to and including a "sighted" persons description of them). Full stop. So...unless you're claiming to have senses or superpowers that others do not.....
References to blindness and the implication that one is in the "sighted" position concerning their articles of faith or experienced "revelations" are tired - they need to be given a rest.
