Let’s use meatspace examples. Do you want to be able to look at a wall and say “this is color X”? Do you want to to be able to look at two walls side by side and say “These are different colors”? Do you want to be able look at a wall, look at another wall the next day and say “This is the same color as I saw yesterday”?
Being able to answer the question: What color is this isn’t very useful. It’s not what separates the person who rather wants to be deaf from the person who rather wants to be deaf. I want is a cure for my partial blindness. I want to perceive more bits of information through the visual channel.
I don’t care for ‘is’ or ‘true’. I’m post- aristotelean. To quote the constructivist Heinz von Foerster: Truth is the invention of a liar. Just in case you think, I’m off-topic, I’m not. Those Anki cards are a result of among other things reading Korzybski’s Science and Sanity.
To go back to questions I want to be able to notice if a website I visit changes their color scheme in a way that exchanges navy with midnightblue just as I’m now able to notice a change from red to green.
Given that your brain’s processing bandwidth is severely limited
I don’t think there a good reason to believe that. I think quite often the limiting factor is time spent in deliberate practice and not lack of neurons or similar hardware problems.
What do you mean by that?

Ah. Well, this is useful to know.
Given that your brain’s processing bandwidth is severely limited I think it’s mostly an issue of controlling your attention but experimenting is good.
