JE:-
I don't think that the perception of one photon via the unaided human
eye (if true) would validly allow the claim that the human eye can
perceive unaided, one quantum event.

My main point: quantum theory is not a causative theory of anything,
i.e. a proposed falsifiable process of any science but a mathematical
application which has allowed our pattern perception to go _way beyond
the normal biological range_. This amazing quantum pattern still
requires a proposed falsifiable causative process of science just to be
able to explain it. Only providing the pattern does not allow one iota
of scientific explanation.

If the mind of that human perceives what his/her eye detected, which is
implied, most others would allow it, and justifiably so.
