The true answer to a question is what you have most reason to believe will leave the questioner best informed. In this case, the true answer is “no”.
Is it really? Methinks the Hu’wha would consider a projection on a retina part of the extension of “image”, even though by their intension it’s not an “image” (there being no such thing). More generally, this statement sounds possibly paternalistic, although I can’t think of where it badly breaks down (it’s odd to call “that’s a Wrong Question, this other one is more meaningful” a “true answer”, but it’s not like there’s a more “true” one).
