No but that wasnt' the argument. Bates said they see better color and
form worse with glasses. Nonsense.

Never mind the spectrographs, huh.

Because they get better when they lose their glasses?

Yes but most people see better with them. Bates said they see better
without them.

So the "unpleasantness" cannot be overcome?

That wasn't the argument. The field of vision is not always smaller
with lenses, so Bates was wrong.

Yes but that doesn't change the experience of EVERYONE who has
cataract surgery or cycloplegic drops. Where is this "other"
accommodation when the lens is removed?

Otis didn't post any proof. He posted an 80-year-old opinion that is
contradicted by several studies. I quoted them here and Otis just
ignored them.
