I do not understand how the linked discussion highlight anything that I have not covered. There are two conceptions of color according to one that A and B are same and another which they are not. Just as long as you don’t mix concepts you are fine. It might be misleading that language has only one color word but it should be pretty clear that the concept definitions are separate. Notice how there is no good word to call the color the squares do not have in common. Or if we use words “white”, “grey” and “black” they are both grey but one of them is black and the other is white. If you would think color was a single category one might be confused how something can be both white and grey. But the “grey” color is a different type of color (“apparent illumination”) than the others (“shaded hue”). For example we readily recognise that there would be a category error for thinking that shiny and white would mean the same thing (note that shininess would be confrimed in image wby the presence of whiter than usual pixels). When the both categories are called “white” it becomes harder to recognise that they are actually homonyms of two distinct concepts.
What lesson do you think I am drawing? What thing the linked discussion is drawing? And how is the linked discussion more appropriate learning? What color conception is appropriate for tyhe situation depends on the application. Sure human brains have a great need for “shaded hue” color. But computer monitor makers have a great practical relevance for “apparent illumination” color. that’s like arguing that “right” is the correct concept and “starboard” is an irrelevant and incorrect concept. And that road leads to arguing whether landlife is more valid than sealife.
