What you say is completely true, but we do not "see" real life that
way. The brain integrates a "image" from the eyes shifting and focusing on
the scene. In this way the image formed has a huge dynamic range of
brightness. When making a print to try to express a full range of tones, we
are trying to recreate that mental image.

Both of you are completely correct!
