What kind of a forgery is this supposed to be?Reminds me of that study by Bruner & Postman (sic) in 1949 where they briefly flashed incongruous playing cards, such as black hearts or red spades. That really messed up the test subjects' colour perception.

Thanks Richard! A letter is on its way.

the perception of incongruity. Unfortunately, that's how almost everything works.

it helps not to get mad at people.
