Up close with the speckled hen

摘要

According to Bence Nanay (2009), the proposal I make in my 2009b gets some speckled hen cases right but not others. Nanay says that if the speckled hen is far away, it is plausible to claim, as I do, that in seeing all the speckles, nonetheless there are individual speckles I fail to see. But he adds (501–2) that if the hen is close to me and the speckles appear clearly demarcated so that I could attend to any given speckle if I so chose, then we should accept that I see all the speckles and further that I see each individual speckle.
