Interesting stuff... if only "rare," not "super-human" as articles always describe it. :roll:

Yeah, I read about that a few months ago and it is interesting.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

I winder what they make of TV/video/digital photographs, and just about anything else that is rendered using three colours?

In comparison the rest of us are not color blind, but just see lesser gradients in color difference.

I have quadrophonic vision. When quadrophonic audio equipment came out, I had the vision not to buy it.

I read a crank once, years and years ago that claimed that there were women who could see a more vivid spectrum because it made gathering easier and that certain men had more perceived a more vivid band along the blue end were successful on nocturnal hunting. However he also said that God was a communication encoded into plant tryptamines, waiting for us to evolve to a level to translate the information.
