S&S vs. SF in BotNS

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

My reply is perfectly comprehensible, even if it may not be explanatory.
What you and everyone else have seen who followed the link is a 'video' of 
concentric bluish circles. Through _belief_ in Science and its round shape, 
you accepted the description of it as a photo of an electron. However, it is 
not one. If it really is true, it's a rendering of the difraction caused on 
a stream of photons by the successive electron ionisation events. But that 
is not a photo as is commonly understood, which involves reflection, nor of 
'an electron', nor is it a photo in a sense that would constitue autonomous 
evidence for the reality of electrons, though it may be corroborating of the 
model. Images of electrons, as the term 'image' is understood, are not 
possible, if they were there'd be something seriously wrong with the 
Standard Model. Electrons aren't little rubber balls.
