LOL. No its probably going to be worse. Its going to be: if Mary the  
color scientist lived her life in a black and white Chinese room,  
would she understand the meaning of "hóng" the Chinese word for "red"?  
Bonus question: Would Mary try to kill everyone if she managed to  
escape and saw red for the first time?
