Many times shiny surfaces fool us with distorted mirror images. We see things not as they are, but only as they appear.
You may think, for example, that I am wearing a checkered sheer sweater, but it is only striped. And the effect is distorted further by a striped tie worn on top.
The moon, another example, is only cratered stone, but appears to us as the night's brilliance.
I have met someone who only appeared to be vibrant, but turned out dull, and inevitably: a dud.
