Just a bit late.
BBC news coverage of the latest Sirian government onslaught on Aleppo just didn't look quite right. A bit too much contrast, a bit too much brightness, a bit too much sharpness. Some defect of the video recorder probably (or the 3 glasses of wine we had drunk) but it does make you wonder how long we can keep relying on apparent evidence about anything.
CGI in well known movies has not been too convincing to date but that's partly down to the facts that we are not programmed to believe in talking fish, wierd blue space aliens or giant Persian demi-god rulers, What might be acheived when we think we are seeing reality and given unlimited funding from governments, courtesy of the taxpayer?
We all rely on what we see on the net and on TV, what really is to stop the bastards upstairs from creating any sort of reality they want to feed to us?
