OK, here's a question about shared experience. If you couldn't actually look directly at the transit of Venus yesterday (unless you wanted your eyes boiled or something), is there a difference between standing out in your garden with a pair of binoculars trained on a piece of carboard and watching the six-hour "event" on TV?
Is the experience anything less since both methods of "sharing" are safe?
Where does experience end and watching start?
