Posted in jest.
Bob and Alice is used in Cryptography as well. Probably originated with the
film "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_and_Bob
I think the E-1 in Ken's hands, when he pushes the button, gives different
colors than if I pushed the same button. His eyes and mind pull in all those
color photons into the camera. We are drawn to the camera that best fits our
minds eye.
