The age old problem of confusion of the plan with reality, the map with the territory, the means with the ends and data, information, and wisdom. We humans NEVER deal with ANYTHING in "real time", NOR "reality". We ONLY have our perception, which is delayed, and is essentially a "pattern match" with existing mental patterns. Understanding how little data actually flows in from the eyes compared to what our brain produces for us makes us realize that "virtual" is all we know. The layers of virtualization continue to become more tempting however.
