except you can still arguably see things that don’t reflect light, if you were anywhere near a black hole (let’s imagine it has no accretion disk and thus isn’t surrounded by a bunch of light) it’d be pretty obvious what with the bending of light and how it’s a disk of pure blackness against the backdrop of stars.

And you know, light sources. They don’t need to reflect any light.

But they still do. It might just be overpowered by the emitted light.

Does a candle really reflect light?
