Had to look that saying up [0], but it seems like it’s just a made-up thing to help people who aren’t scientists cope with that fact.

Not disagreeing that the saying may be made up, but Scientist != engineer.

This is Especially applicable here in photonics and sight.

Most engineering works in approximations that get taught as rules. One needs to be very careful of the assumptions they're making about the physical world and eyesight when discussing AR.

>Scientist != engineer

Evaluates to false. Engineering is applied science, and thus all engineers are in fact scientists.

Arithmetic is applied mathematics, and thus all kindergartners are mathematicians.
