How is that relevant to anything I ' ve said ? Let ' s go over this again . And you are making fun of misunderstanding . ? Do you really not understand why that ' s relevant ? You ' re claiming that a photo of the Earth includes all the people on the surface of the Earth , even though roughly half of those people are blocked by the Earth itself . I ' m claiming this A photo of Earth includes Earth and by extension everything on it . It is amusing that you make an artificial difference between people blocked from view by Earth on one side , and people blocked from view by anything else on the other side . So , therefore , you must also think that if you take a photo of the ground while standing on the surface of Earth , roughly half the people on Earth are included in that photo even though they ' re all blocked by Earth itself and there are zero humans visible in the photo . As I explained before I must think that a photo of the ground while standing on the surface of Earth means that either 1 ALL people on Earth are included because the photo includes Earth and by extension everything on it , or 2 noone because you only count people directly visible in the photo . Both are ok . So a question for you , if we take the picture again are people in buildings on the visible side of the planet part of the picture ?
