Not misleading or false at all. The latency of the real world is 0. Our internal perception latency might be non-zero, but that's on us, not the "real world". When you pile on additional latency between button press and screen feedback, the internal biological latency doesn't cover for it. It adds to it.
- krallja 10y agoThe latency of the real world is still limited by the speed of light, as far as I can tell.
- function_seven 10y agoWhich, in our real world, is 0.000… Picking up a cup, pressing a button, opening a window. The speed of light is irrelevant at these scales.
- elfchief 10y agoActually, by the speed of sound. When you move an object, the pressure wave that travels along it and makes it move with you propagates at the speed of sound in that material. Still pretty fast at human scales, though!
