    Well, yes, but, seriously, left-right symmetry is _a lot_ of _stuff_
    (recognitions, forms, mirrorings...) in this natural world.

    And, there are Rorschach blots with color in them, are there not? (I
    could be wrong about that. I actually have never seen the real Rorschach
    blots.) If there are not, for some reason I am thinking that the false
    color of moiré might happen in them also.

    In any event, they are a very good, very interesting, very captivating
    subject to dip a discussion about information into.
