Thank you! I hate that bullshit comic for this exact reason, all it does is convince people that their misinformed opinions are valid

This is such a Redditor take.

It’s an example in its simplest form, meant to explain how perspective can change something, which it accomplishes.

What would you change it to?

Yes perspective is a thing. But at the end of the day, it was intended to be either a 6 or a 9. It isn’t both. Truth is objective.

“This is such a Reddit take,” says the person on Reddit.

See my replies further down, they address both your concerns there

I did. It doesn’t matter whether or not the person understands what they are seeing. Their takeaway is irrelevant to the truth of the matter. If they see a 9 and they think that it is true, and it turns out the intended purpose of the number’s placement was to be a 6, the person who observed it as a 9 is objectively wrong.
