Can you tell me what is the exact frequency of light hitting your eye as you read this comment? Not by guessing, not from knowledge, but from actually counting? No? Then you are not generally intelligent :)

Justify your statement (the other similar post nearby is not sufficient), or realize that we are not talking about that.

We can have adequate representations of light that are the instances over which we reason. Your simile is about perception, not about instancing ideas.

All the frequencies, in varying amounts. Next question, please.
