I remember the story a few years ago about the blue and black dress that others swore was white and gold, that is mentioned in your link. I had several guys look at it on my TV from the exact same spot, and they almost wanted to get into a fist fight over their disagreements. Some others here are trying to blame it on a miscalibrated monitor, but that is not what is happening. People's brains are simply perceiving the picture differently.
I agree with your last sentence. Can you or someone else please explain to me how this whole thing got to be labeled a hoax? I asked selmslie several times in his thread that followed this one and never got an answer.
It seems to me the basic issue is, as you say, that we perceive things differently. Where is the hoax? If we're talking about our perception of color in a particular image, what does it matter how that image was created?
Oh well, I guess the hoax theorists are just playing with us....(another possibility is that they haven't gotten over their Mensa rejection!?) 😕
