What I'm saying is that if you are just going to make a case that the Falmer aren't blind, you should tell me how all the in-game speech lines, books, and loadscreens that say that they are blind are incorrect.

As for the hows and whys of their blindness, I would argue with Harold that Gelebor would know better than anybody how the Falmer became blind, since he was close enough to observe but far enough (due to the Chantry's isolation) to remain unaffected by the Dwemer. And if you're basing your entire argument on the speech tone of a bored voice actor who's only geting paid three hundred bucks an hour, I'd argue that that qualifies, again, as "ESTABLISHED LORE>GAMEPLAY".
