I had a strange thought earlier today, on the way to work (which is where I am right now, so this has to be brief) - imagine if there were only two people in the world, one of them blind, the other one mute. The blind guy would not know that the mute one existed (unless they touched). And just for kicks, imagine they are on a desert island. How about the LOST island - that would be trippy. Of course, if they crash landed there the blind guy would get his sight back and the mute guy could talk... but that ruins my thought experiment.
Alternately, a deaf guy and an invisible guy. The deaf guy wouldn't know the invisible guy was there.
In both cases, it does not mean that the mute guy did not exist, nor the invisible guy.
You see where I am going with this. And now that I realize where I am going, I think I'll stop before it really starts sounding cliche.
