Guys I just woke up, I'm about to head to Derry in North Ireland, so I hope you'll forgive me if the post sounds disjointed or unclear. I feel like I'm wading through fog.

Looks clear enough to me, Yorick!
But what a pity - I don't disagree with a word you've written! I would, however, like to highlight one point you made:
"To me colour blindness in people shows that the majority DO see things, if not the same, then very similarly because the colour blind person clearly does not."

Yes. "very similarly". Not identically, Yorick.
Which is why the same purple/green combo will look great to me but yukky to my daughter. We both see purple/green, and know we do, but it looks unpleasing to her. However a combo of a different purple/green will look fine to her and not to me. I do not think this is merely association, Yorick, but is based on the anatomical variation in numbers (howerver small) of the 3 receptors.

Anyway, this little digression into colour perception is WAY off topic and you guys have me to blame for it!
Sorry!
