Alright, could be a good chance that I'm a homo sapiens. Let's assume that. But then it depends whether I can see or not. Maybe I'm blind and I dictate the text to my caretaker. Do we then see the same? No. The concept of the moon to a blind man is different from a seeing man.


Another idea: let's say we clone two kids. But one kid gets altered genes where the receptor in the eyes are more prone to IR light. Both kids look at the sky. Do they see the same? No. Also take locality into account. Weather and latitude will make a difference in the measurement.


Futhermore, let's imagine an alien probe orbiting earth, depending on the time the measurement takes place, the data isn't 100% overlapping.

The _concept_ earth exists in both measurements, but the data has changed. Also take the decay of the sensor into account. Some atoms may evaporate off and you never get the same measurement with a different sensor. Maybe in some thousand years homo sapiens blasts the earth into pieces and travels to a distant planet. The alien probe still hasn't moved by 0.0000001% but the measurement is totally different.


The measurement is therefore always subject to the sensor and the measured object. The to be measured object changes during measurement and the sensor does too. You don't need QM theories for that insight, just take two cheap voltage meter of the same built and a battery.
