The color of green clouds the mind. But I didn't say I could spot them with 100% accuracy. I would guess I had 89% accuracy. What accuracy would you say you had in spotting a Leica shot? This would be your key number of the faithful. People who would say 0 would be implying their aint no difference.(Just like those funny squares in the window). And back on topic: I did take the Pepsi Challenge. Bought a quart each of Pepsi and Coke. Put tape at the bottom of two otherwise unmarked glasses. All five of us picked the coke. We all thought the Pepsi tasted like coke with water added. I used to be a Pepsi drinker. Yes this is ridiculous but it is true. I'm a huge fan of packaging, always buy a book buy its cover.
