Good point, I did think about the latency after I posted the comment. (Apparently about 13ms between photons hitting the eyes and the brain recognizing it.) Would the statement stand if it were updated to say, "The (presentMoment - latency) is the only thing we can observe"? Perhaps "experience" instead of "observe" would have fit better - although, experience by definition is only in the present, otherwise it would be a memory. Then a counter argument might be: everything is memory, even the current moment being experienced. I suppose that sliver of "now" might be infinitesmal, approaching zero..
