[ExI] Red

[Brent Allsop]

To me this question reveals why you are so confused.  The only thing that
matters is the quality of the knowledge, which is black.  Everything else
is unrelated, or at best causally upstream from the quality of this black
knowledge rendered by our perception system.
You always focus on everything but what matters.
