On the other hand

A fun part of editing this stuff is the offhand reminders of progress. I just came to "Atoms, for example, can only be seen with the most powerful microscopes."

When I was in eleventh grade, we couldn't see them directly at all.

ETA: I suspect that, as rysmiel suggests, it depends in part on how "see" is interpreted. Kip, I don't actually remember where I was when President Kennedy was shot, but I suspect my mother could tell me.
