Your story reminds me of the Indian allegory of the man who mistakes a rope for a snake.

    I think he meant this one. Grerk also had something similar but can't locate the reference. https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com//mobile/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198079811.001.0001/acprof-9780198079811-chapter-4 https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com//mobile/view/1...

      Very nice, do you know where to read about maya ? (fun fact Alias Maya was one of my favorite software ever, yet it's the first time I get interested in the philosophical concept behind the name thanks to you)
