I was surprised by your pronoun usage, then I clicked on your profile. Reminded me to think of the ambiguity of the English "you", in contrast to "I"/"we". Edit: To add a bit to the topic. Tetrachromy seems a quite interesting example for "superhuman" sensory ability. Normal people have three cone cells, and the maximum/minimum activation of each cell gives rise to 2^3=8 "primary" subjectively dissimilar colors: 000 (black), 001 (blue), 010 (green), 011 (cyan), 100 (red), 101 (magenta), 110 (yellow), 111 (white). All the others look like blends of the former. But for tetrachromy there are 2^4=16 different such "primary" colors. That's a substantial difference.

yeah i wish there were an easier way to say we have DID than making multiple HN accounts, we were even personally recommended to do that by HN's moderation team but opted not to because we need the shared rep and comments. including a disclaimer in every comment (which we have to do if we include a signature, because then people will ask what the signature means) is also somewhat tiring, so right now the pronoun usage is a bit of an unsolved problem, hehe. glad to see the profile did its job though as for the edit, another commenter says there's still no evidence that people with true tetrachromy have a fourth primary color. that's not to say they don't, but just that it may be years or decades until a study conclusively proves its existence, if there is one
