Saying this, of course, ruffles some feathers, specially those in feather-challenged aviary.

Exactly my point: that people love simplistic statements, of which dichotomies are possibly the ultimate example ('possibly' because a command may or may not be regarded as a dichotomy).

I just have to add an Autistic footnote to this - what about when the mind sees not ' multiple cameras ' ... but same INPUT repeated ... i.e ' same camera over and over again '

Rather like an infant seeing ' bus passing again ' when Mum knows it's ' another bus passing '

For me , several cameras [ Contax / Kiev , what else LOL ] of the same type / stable create a kind of continuity , constancy , which is missing in my world , especially when that continuity streiches fromm 1937 through to the early 80s and Techs serving them today in the same area ... which is awesome for me ... grounding / locating somehow .

Also , ' several ' reinforces the stimulus - in my case Contax / Contax / Kontax ... ad infinitum ... because my mind does not asimilate and store properly .

So , do I have one camera [ STIMULUS ' KONTAX ' ] or many ?

You see , there are as many answers as there are crazee brains LOL
