People say they watched a foot ball game, when they saw it on TV.

It is possible to observer/watch without being there at the time in physical form.

If you want to get really bothersome about terms:

If we step outside in broad daylight and "see the grass"(or if you don't have grass whatever is out there) we are seeing sunlight that has taken a path that included the grass.

So we're looking out at the sun, the grass is not generation sufficient light in of itself to be a significant source to our vision.

At night when driving my car I see my headlights and not the road.

Take away what is not a light source in the visible spectrum, and we see nothing. Many of the objects we describe as objects we observe, are really the observation of a separate light source that has interacted with that object on its path to be observed by our eyes.

Hope that was amusing. The world is a weird place.

The key to communication is the ability to predict the assumptions of others about what you say.

I pointed out the assumption as interesting because it is alien to me to have made this assumption. Call it some form of re-calibration if you will.
