Mangetout:
As I understand it, all Peter is doping is to offer an explanation of how someone who was blind could quite innocently claim to ‘feel’ colours; it may be that this doesn’t match the phenomenon being described in the five pithy paragraphs in the linked article, but that’s not really the point; the point is that not everyone who says ‘I can feel colours’ is either mistaken, lying or magic; True, they’re not sensing anything that relates meaningfully to colour in the sighted world, but they can be ‘feeling colour’ without being deliberately dishonest, or supernaturally endowed.
My goodness what a storm in a teacup. And if the relevant person merely said she could feel colours when she touches things, it would be a relevant storm.
