you seem to be of the opinion that the difference is miniscule. the difference between 3 hours and 4 years is hardly miniscule
in terms of everyday life it is indeed. That what I said.

10 to the minus 5 is 50 db: you would not perceive a whisper 50 db lower than whatever you are listening to.

yes, they arrived earlier. But maybe they arrived 3 years earlier and nobody was looking for them. Long distance experiments are quite tricky. Also the light getting here had quite a history of its own. Unfathomable. Passing through every sort of unknown effects. Everything about nature is tricky.
