Then why bother responding if it is pointless and tiresome? I'd rather you
continue ignoring me or address the other point. Why don't people respond?
Because I'm bringing up something that directly refutes their claims and they
feel uncomfortable with it is all I can guess. If they all tried the same
experiment, there might BE a point.

People rarely change their mind in a debate. They think about it later on and
reflect. That's when minds are changed.

Which is how you view it. I understand that. The problem is that not all
people view it that way, if only because there is more than one element to a
color. You key on its hue (yellow). Others key on its value (relative light
and dark). Both are valid in their own way. The problem is that you are
denying that the other viewpoint has validity, or somehow that viewpoint (and
not yours) is political, or racial, or whatever term you want to use.
