From that image, you can imagine what would happen if you throw it, or throw it spinning on a blank water surface to make it bounce, "throwing sandwich" as well call it in Sweden. However, if you turn the stone around, you might see that it's not very suitable for sandwich throwing. I have done that once or twice in my life so I can very reliably tell from the look of a stone whether it will bounce well or not. So, yes, there is a relationship between the stone and my mental image of the stone. In this case it's good enough for judging the stone's sandwich throwing suitability.

But that's just it Magnus, I say normally yes.  

Sight at its very least is not about identified objects, only form and 
color.  But one can experience sight sans even form and color too.  
It is ALL conceived.  It's useful and I wouldn't throw away any but the 
arrogance of thinking the "real" has been realized.
