I think that this problem is that people associate a visual image with
the messages that fly across the screen. Over the summer, i got to meet
Lauren Weinstein. I do not know what it was that I expected him to look
like, but I do know that it wasn't what i got to see. It was quite
surprising. Over dinner, (there were a lot of people at that dinner) I
developed a migraine headache. So I sat there and *listened*... and...
it was the same Lauren. He writes the way that he speaks.

I found the whole thing quite amusing. I have lousy vision, and the
crummiest visual memory of anyone that I know. I quite seriously
could not give you a visual discription of my mother, let alone
Lauren Weinstein. So if I can build  a visual image that is strong
enough that I can experience strong dissonance when the original
does not correspond to my image of him, how much worse it must be
for the people who think primarily visually.
