and that is why i didn't say the same explanation, but similar

both, in my opinion, suffer from the clickbait disease "YOU CAN'T SEE YELLOW ๐Ÿ˜ฑ" (directly, because to see it you use two light receptors combined) "PURPLE DOESN'T EXIST ๐Ÿ˜ฑ" (as a single wavelength colour because as opposed to the other colours of the rainbow it uses a combination of red and blue wavelengths)

i don't blame you for either of course, i'm just expressing my general annoyance with the phrasing of both science facts
