What an absolutely ridiculous exercise that was Alan. Completely manipulative and dishonest. If those images taken on a phone represent your vision, what you are actually seeing, you would be declared 100 legally blind. You should not be leaving your home and for god sakes, stop climbing behind the wheel of a car.

I am not familiar with who you are, Alan. You claim some kind of reporter, or maybe a retired reporter. Claiming the images you posted are representative of someone's....anyone's....actual vision is one of the most dishonest things I have witnessed. This is intentionally manipulating the evidence. Doing so in the name of "reporting", speaks to your honesty as a reporter and a person.

A phone camera makes everything look further away, which was obviously your intention...again...dishonest. As proof, I offer this drill to all. Stand 10 feet from a wall that has a clock or picture. Now take a picture of that wall with your phone and tell me if that is representative to your actual vision. Good grief.

The first picture is so intentionally blurry, it is not worthy of a comment. Picture #2, while somewhat clearer, is taken of a blackjack table across the pit, which was NOT the exercise. Again this was intentionally done to manipulate the evidence. But even this picture, the clearer of the two.....are you suggesting this is representative of anyone's actual vision? There are slot machines 35 feet away where you can not even make out the type of machine. Completely misrepresentative of even a person with poor eye site's, actual vision. Just fundamentally dishonest.

I don't know how much I will continue to participate here, or if I will at all. But I do know that you have now revealed yourself as a fundamentally dishonest individual. Someone I have little interest in interacting with.

And for the record, you asked how a person can tell the difference between a nine and a two at a distance. I told you earlier but I guess you chose to ignore it. PIPS! Pips are the little markings on each non-face card. You may not always be able to see the actual number in the corner, but it is much easier to see if a card has two or three pips or eight or nine pips. And it's not only the number of pips, but the layout. Take a close look at a deck of cards. The layout of the Pips are very distinct.

I have no doubt you will rebuff this as well and take a blurry picture of a card where you can't distingue the number or layout of the Pips, because you are fundamentally dishonest.
