    JWST can swap which wavelengths they are looking at. You’re telling me Geordi can’t?

    He probably just has to hit a button and it goes to ir or x-ray or EHF.

      In one episode he claimed that he got all the wavelengths at once, compressed through the visor so that his brain could handle it, and that he had to just focus really hard to filter out extraneous ones. He compared it to trying to follow a single conversation in a noisy room (think a bar or club or something). So I guess maybe he could have spent a bunch of time as a teen focusing on that specific wavelength?
