I wasn't clear. I didn't mean that people talking about the M8 were unreliable. I meant that the M8 itself could be an "unreliable narrator". My preference was to refer to an "unreliable narrator" *problem*, because it's not simply a matter of the narrator/camera giving results that don't match seen reality in the ways we expect (obviously, it's a photograph, so there are ways we expect it will not match reality). In literature, the unreliable narrator sometimes doesn't lie, which creates the real problem. An intelligent reader is always going to wonder what's true and what's a lie. Hence my question. Hence a question about maroon tuxedos. I'm not sure what else anyone should expect. Here's a situation where the "narrator" has been known to "lie"; is it lying in this instance?
This is a great illustration of why the fixation about who owns an M8 is silly. If I had an M8, I would shoot the back of my hand and decide for myself if the blood vessels in the photo matched what I see with my eyes. Isn't it the very people who don't have a camera who are often most curious about what it can and cannot do?
