This is a diagram made by Joseph Backes but corrected by me.




So, you have the Fedora Man by the Obelisk, and he is imaged by both Altgens and Towner. 

Now, both the Fedora Man and the Obelisk are objects, and they are stationary objects. Unfortunately, Mr. Backes does not know the difference between stationary and stationery, but then again, he is an idiot 

So, Fedora Man and the Obelisk are both stationary objects, and they are close enough together that, if you wanted to, you could treat them as one object. 

Imagine there was a loop of rope around the Obelisk- a lasso- and from the knot of the lasso, the short end of the rope extended forward towards Elm Street, and it was held by Fedora Man. 

So, you've got Fedora Man standing where we know him to be- and you just have to ask Robin Unger about that- and he's got a lasso around the Obelisk which he is holding.

Since there would be a continuous flow of physicality from the Obelisk to the man, with no break, you could treat the whole thing as one object: Fedora Man with a lasso around the Obelisk. 

It's the same as if you had a man and woman holding hands. They're two people but if you wanted to treat "them" as one object, you could. Right? They're suddenly like a two-headed monster. 

So, let's go back to our diagram and add the lasso.



You see the brown lasso, and you see the tail of it being held by Fedora Man, right? Now how can Fedora Man appear to be in front of the facade to Altgens when he's got that rope in his hands? You can't stretch the rope, can you? 




Assume there is a lasso around the Obelisk with just a short tail on it that he is holding. How can you separate the man from the monument? You can't. You can't assume that the rope would stretch, can you? And that is why my enemies' position about this is so absolutely and extremely ridiculous. There is no way the man in front of the facade was actually standing by the Obelisk. For all practical purposes, the man by the Obelisk is connected to the Obelisk and cannot be separated from it. 

Therefore, these are different men:
