Who has the truer view..the "better" view? The person smack dab in the middle experiencing it or the observer watching the entire thing?

The insider or the outsider? The insider cannot see the entire scenario but the observer can from afar.

Now the detail might be fuzzy to the observer but perhaps the view is more clear?


Go up to a tapestry and what do you see? The go back a few yards and what do you see? I don't know if that is a good analogy but it's the best I can do.

    I think the observer may have the more unbiased view because they are not directly involved.  However, the person in the middle knows more of the details that may hidden from the observer such as underlying facts that got them to that point.
