This involves a way of forgetting the mediation, but that forgetting is merely pragmatic: there is no need to think about it in order to take action. So one is unaware of it, not in the sense of being incapable of recognizing its role or existence (epistemic ignorance), but only in the sense of being able to disregard it in order to take action (pragmatic forgetting). This pragmatic forgetting about the mediation by no means implies a failing in the perceiving subject or, on his part, any inability to perceive or recognize his role; it is, on the contrary, the product of long efforts to appropriate the instrument and make it part of oneself so as not to have to think about it. That momentary forgetfulness of the instrumental mediation is a state that one needs to succeed in attaining. It is not an epistemic failure but, on the contrary, a pragmatic success.
