The dog doesn't see the colors, though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

It does see various colors, just not the spectrum we do. Dogs see only yellows and blues.

i'd say that's the point? the dog is looking at the limited colours it can see, not comprehending that the researcher that laid out the graph has an increased ability in perceiving colours.

it's a manifestation of the dunning-kruger effect.
