I think you've misunderstood me: after-images are a different phenomenon
and "everyone calls it 'persistence of vision'" is merely a restatement
of the widespread belief in the myth; however, there is no such thing,
thus your para above, being based on a belief in it, is without
foundation, and therefore, as perhaps I rather unkindly put it but it
has the advantage of clarity, bollocks.
