Words Mean Things II... The Revenge...

Certainly, we could argue we are not seeing the same color green,( as we all do not see the same rainbow) but saying the grass is blue, diagnostically, would mean something may well be wrong with you neurologically, and I would recommend anyone seeing blue grass to get to the hospital.

Green means at the very outside a specific shade of colors, and with that meaning, as it is with many diagnostic questions in medicine, it is important that certain words mean things.

Even asking what kind of pain.

I could easily make that ambiguous.

However, diagnostically speaking, the difference between a stabbing pain and an aching pain is important.

Sorry, I said I wouldnt get involved and I wont any further, but it only helps so much to take this too far outside a certain criteria to where it is even remotely helpful as a discussion.

But if all I've seen my entire life is blue grass, but been told that THAT COLOR is green, I think blue is green. You can't see through my eyes, you can't know how the colors I see compare to the colors you see. Maybe my cones and rods or my wiring are set up differently enough that I see colors differently than you do. It's not something we can test. So by my perspective, grass is green, even if I see what you would think of as 'blue'. There would only be a known issue if the grass suddenly changed color THAT would be a neurological thing.

My point was just that experience and perspective change the meaning of things. Although I've never had anyone argue with me that grass was green unless they lived in Texas.

Zing!
