Comment on How much oranger do red orange bags make oranges look?parent

Comments

You saw someone making a bunch of observations, setting up an experiment and trying to use maths/programming to prove an hypothesis they believed to be a sign of "lack of human-ness"?

To me it showed curiosity and ingenuity, sure they might not have studied a certain subject but it is a totally valid approach to an unknown problem. It might actually get people who have similar "silly questions" to run a similar set of experiment and perhaps stumble upon something novel.

You comment showed less human-ness than OP, ironically.

I read the lack of human-ness as locking at the wrong place.

It’s not reality that changed because of red net but our perception of it.

The solution isn’t in the oranges but our brain

Agreed.
