Observation

While mall-crawling around a local shopping centre the other day, I was amazed at how much space a group of people had taken over. They were arranged in a huge circle , too large for them to be able to communicate effectively without yelling. How wrong I was. It all became clearer when I realised they needed to be in a big circle because they were all signing - and everyone had to be able to see everyone else so they could catch what was being "said". Our interpretation of the world really does depend on how we see things.
