We tend to describe the pupil as though it's its own actual separate part of the eye. It's almost strange to think about the fact that in reality it's just a hole in the Iris and not a "thing" at all. - eviltoast

        • If they never existed and are purely fictional (preposterous!), one could argue their count was null.
