Now this gets interesting since the gneral consensus (and supported by the FAQ) is to simply rule that the MI takes up the same space as the original for most reasons.If the MI are behind the same physical cover as is the caster then the answer would be yes.Concealment is something that is not usually a physical beneift but a benefit against visual accuracy.I still fall in the line of reasoning that the explanation of how to dispel a MI when you physically hit them is the text expression of how you can overcome an illusion. Same as is true with the Disguise Self spell (as pointed out earlier).If the attacker doesn't think he hit the MI then he doesn't receive the benefit of hitting it and thus dispeling the illusion.So if a MI is blurred then the attacker has the same reason to believe he would have hit as if he would the original.  It should be noted that the AC for the MI is pretty much the the same as a touch attack and IMO it would have been far simpler to just say a successful touch attack dispels the MI (and fit into all of the other ramifications too).</blockquote>
