kenzo, if you are going to comment on stuff you think you know about at least try to make a claim that is reasonable and not just unfounded rhetoric and hot air.

As part of my job I've been doing a lot of light intensity and color measurements. My mind was blown when I discovered that neither printed color on a page, nor rgb monitors can display the full range of color visible to the human eye.

There are colors you can see which can't be seen on a monitor or printed on a page!

Part of the measurements I've been doing are mapping coordinates on the CIE chromaticity diagram.

Your job sounds heck of boring.
