the concept of this episode is that the nature of an experience changes drastically depending on the perspective of the person having it. Science has admitted this in saying, The outcome of a study is affected by the observer. This is true in many situations, one man hates to take long car rides another loves it, the way they would describe the same long road trip would be much different.
