I don’t need to prove anything. My initial statement was obviously a
statement of my opinion and I didn’t try to dress it up in some form of

evidence for it. That’s how theory works.

“My reasons are as follows: ...More attractive hues which better match other

Looks like a statement of (supposed) fact to me. So, you presented it as fact.
You demanded evidence when I informed you that you were wrong. You don’t feel
obligated to provide proof for your stance? Fine. You don’t want to believe my
statement without official documents and doctoral thesises? Fine.
Pot. Kettle. Black. If my failure to have proof ready and waiting to present
means that my stance is wrong, simple arithmetic says exactly the same thing
about your stance.

So you’re now saying that cool-white varies? Interesting.

It’s a known and accepted fact that it is impossible, no matter how careful you
are, to maintain a perfect zero-variance manufacturing process when it comes to
chemical mixtures. Paint is always coded by batch for industrial purposes so
painters can avoid using two different batches on the same piece, because doing
so would result in an obvious color shift where the two batches meet.
Flourescent lights use a chemical coating on the inside of the tube as the
actual light source, and there will necessarily be a variance from one batch of
that chemical to the next, as well as from one manufacturer to the next (and who
knows if the length, diameter, or shape of the tube has any further impact on
the specific spectrometry of the “cool-white” style). The same likely holds
true for the glass, as not all glass is made from raw materials that have even
gathered from the same part of the world, and each source of materials will
include a different array of impurities. But that is the legacy style of
flourescent light tube, and there is a much greater likelihood of seeing a
significant visual difference between two New York strip steaks than there is of
seeing one between two cool-white flourescent lights.
And next time, please try to not be so confrontational. It’s almost like you’re
trying to goad me into lashing out at you or something.
