unfortunately, that stuff just makes me mad. i appreciate it, and believe it, and think i understand it, but i always "see" the change in color/shade, even with the bars. must be my extremely advanced/regressed mental abilities. it's all very much unlike the 3d illusions made of nonsense, which i both understand and see, but probably if i could see, or not see, the colors then i'd like that illusion just the same.
