    So you’re saying if there were a blue and black snake that bites with deadly venom, and a white and gold snake that’s harmless to people, you’d gain an evolutionary advantage from seeing the blue and black snake turn white and gold in the sun?

    No, being able to see the same snake as the same colour by adjusting for ambient lighting conditions aids survival.

      That isn’t what’s happening it’s a low res overexposed photo that lacks visual cues not real life.

        It doesn’t lack visual cues. I could tell it’s overexposed and adjust for the lighting. You just can’t see the cues, and that’s the difference.

            I can see them with my own eyes right now. And the dress is black and blue, so I’m right. You just can’t see them, but don’t mistake your eyesight problems for objective truth.

              lol ok Neo.

              Unfortunately you’re unable to see the (objective) pixel representation :(

                In the larger version of the picture, you can see three areas of glare on the right. One from the window, one from the top of the table, and one from the floor. The backs of the items closer to the door, and the edge of the table, are darker than these glare areas. There’s also a bright spot on the left. If you have good spatial intelligence, you can clearly tell the glare is coming from the sun based on how the light falls in the room.

                  The College of Optometrists came out and said it was ambigious. It’s the point of the image dumbass. It’s not about good spatial awareness. All you’re demonstrating is lack of basic perception.

                    Ah yes, I lack perception because I can see more things than you do, and they lead me to correct conclusions about the state of the world. That makes complete sense.

                    And Usain Bolt runs so fast because he has weak legs, obviously.
