    The diffraction effects from a pinhole camera are not what make them work.

    I didn’t say this, you did. You’re chasing your own tail.

      You made a parallel sentence construction:

      • pinholes diffract light.
      • lenses refract light.

      You directly contrasted them. Refraction is obviously key to how lenses work. So it seemed to me like you were saying that diffraction is key to how pinholes work. 🤷
