Mutant Tetrachromat Women

Like something out of the X-Men, Slashdot had a link to this Red Herring article about mutant tetrachromat women who can see more colors than normal trichromat humans. I never knew that the photoreceptors in our eyes pick up RGB, just like most CCDs in digital cameras. These mutant women have four photoreceptor types for red, green, blue and another color! So they see differences in colors that trichromats think are the same. Compared to these women, trichromats are color-blind.

That's all well and good but...

But, do they believe in the God Almighty! Verily I say unto you that these women are the spawn of Satan himself! If thine eye offend the, pluck it out! Do you not realize that you are a tool of Satan by helping him to publisize his minions? Do you not see that you have dragged even me into his grasp! Uuuugghhh! I must repent! REPENT!!!!!
