The rats in the corn cellar are scrambling. Inadvertently, Jason Burke confirmed what I have been saying that the Towner baby is nothing but a "white blob" with an "orange blob" on top and that it doesn't even look human.
Well, it wasn't, Jason. It wasn't anything. It was just some dabs of color added to the film. That's all it was.
Now Burke is implying that since he looked at it "all by itself" that somehow it salvages him.
But, how else are you going to look at it except "all by itself"? Don't we commonly look at a photograph "all by itself"?
Now Burke is asking me what part of "all by itself" am I having trouble, and the answer is none. What part is he having trouble with?
Look: Jason Burke said, in plain English, that a rational person would have a difficult time identifying the white blob with the orange blob on top as anything human. Then he said it looked more like a duckie than a human baby.
That means what it means, and what it means is that the image does not correlate to that of a human baby. And it certainly does not correlate to that of a boy in denim-style jacket.
Look how well depicted the form of the denim jacket is, with the distinct collar and vertical panels down the back. Do you see anything like that on the baby?
Consider that the woman is, supposedly, holding the baby over her right shoulder. So, his back is to us,.
I'll say it again: the baby is facing the mother and leaning against her right shoulder. Do you see the Altgens boy doing that? No, he is rising perfectly vertical, and he could not be doing that unless he was grounded.
We're talking here about the body's "anti-gravity response" which is activated by the stretch receptors in the muscles and by other neuronal receptors in the joints. He has got a full-blown lengthening response going on there, which happens in response to being grounded, in rising up from solid ground.
You can see in comparison that the baby has no lengthening going on at all. As Jason Burke said, the baby looks like a blob, and that's as good a word as any to describe its muscular state. The difference between those two posturally could not be more vast. One has all his vertical upright mechanisms working while the other is in a state of collapse- totally helpless in its mother's arms.
Those two are not the same, and it is truly INSANE to say that they are.
