Roebke wants to instill in us that what we see is not the most we are able to know. We can only see the surface, a fraction, of a whole object or subject and get a taste of what it is about; but not a full understanding of what it is about. In order to grasp what a subject is fully about, we need to look beyond the physical appearance and move past the assumptions and judgments, and know what the subject is about as a whole. What we see influences us to perceive in certain ways, but what we see, again, is not the whole story.
Roebkes' "The Reality Tests" was great at showing proof, but that proof was overwhelming! There was so much information, it was hard to take it all in and use the information to express what I feel about the article. The general statement is evident though, that there is more than the eye can see- but how do we create what we observe? I am still confused about that.

I completely agree with the information that was being thrown at you in the text of The Reality Tests. For those of us that are more communications based learners it can be tough to get interested in science or math based topics. I think we need to learn to work through the text and figure out ways of working through it that make sense, and make it matter to us because that is exactly the type of collaboration that we've talked about. It has to mean something to everyone and it has to be important.
