Who is nitpicking here? My parent? Me? You? We are all just trying to help someone be more correct. For me at least, it isn't because I wish to nit pick. Perhaps you could have had a more useful comment by not adding your personal anecdote and instead providing a citation? The other responder to your comment is correct. It is entirely perceived and there is no real change in luminosity and thus brightness is the incorrect term. I was offering my insight as both a graphic designer and amateur technical 3D artist with solid grasp of color theory and optics. Meanwhile you just butted in to tell me I'm wrong and I shouldn't tell other people they are wrong. That's a conflicting position, and furthermore the person I was replying to was correcting someone else, and I was clarifying for both of them. So I really don't know why you felt the need to comment in the first place.

Either you're responding to the wrong person, or you did a very poor job at reading my comment. In case of the latter: > Who is nitpicking here? You and /u/colechristensen > We are all just trying to help someone be more correct. No one doubts the purity of your motives. > The other responder to your comment is correct. It is entirely perceived and there is no real change in luminosity and thus brightness is the incorrect term. No one disputes that the effect is perceived. > I was offering my insight as both a graphic designer and amateur technical 3D artist with solid grasp of color theory and optics. No one disputes your qualifications. > Meanwhile you just butted in to tell me I'm wrong and I shouldn't tell other people they are wrong. No one said you were wrong. I simply said that my experience is like that of /u/icelander and /u/pducks32 in that I perceive blue light to be brighter, which you disagreed with in your previous comment, but seem to agree with in this one. I didn't tell you not to correct other people, I said nit picking (i.e., correcting a minor discrepancy which isn't important, relevant, or otherwise causing confusion) is rarely helpful. Interestingly, /u/Karunamon pointed us to the [Purkinje Effect][1] as an explanation for why blue light is perceived to be brighter, so perhaps you aren't correct despite your qualifications (I guess you espoused both sides of the argument, which would make you simultaneously correct and incorrect :p ). This certainly isn't my subject, so I'll leave you to sort it out on your own. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purkinje_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purkinje_effect

  Our sensitivity to light has no bearing on how bright it actually is. You're going to great lengths to nitpick yourself, my friend. This is downright silly so I think I'm done. You're arguing just to argue. Feel free to have the last word.
