Not that I wish to imply that I agree or disagree with anyone, but I 
would like to say that the above argument, IMO, is false.

If the mind pearl leaping across, isn't carrying the memories, or 
histories of perception from one side to the other with its jump, AND 
if the two sides of the brain aren't communicating, then I don't see 
that the mind pearl would be aware of any parallax change. Change means 
being able to compare before and after.
