If you'll recall, my position that the Natchez were color-blind was
predicated on the Whorf study being accurate: that they in fact saw
no difference between green and yellow. Of course, your mention of the
post-Whorfian research that showed the Natchez could distinguish between
colored swatches discredits Whorf's radical hypothesis and likewise
Pirsig's. Obviously the Natchez weren't color-blind.
