- Thanks for the original quote. It struck me that "c-beams glitter in
- the dark" required supra-human powers, but it is debatable. Of course,
- IF the replicants HAD supra human powers than their perceptions of
- those events [how it looked in infra-red] might well be unique. DO
- replicants have supra-human perceptions?
