“In a word, no. The surrounding circumstances and how that changes a person’s perception of the light changes, the temp/tint/color rendition of a given light at a given output do not change.”
Can you scientifically describe an emotion at any given point in time?
If ya can’t does that mean the emotion is irrelevant or doesn’t exist?
I’ll expand this more……
Since every flash is different and CRI therefore cannot by default always accurately describe that particular flash’s performance in real-time then watt is left?
Subjectivity is left unless you happen to have the exact same equipment that determined CRI’s standards with you when giving TCR. And since I’ve made it very clear numerous times in this thread that in no way does TCR supplant CRI but rather only augments it.
Then in Post #37 you say….
“I think a thread of visual illusions due to retinal persistence, etc. would actually be really useful info. Still amazes me how much my perception can shift on lights and those are a great demo of why it happens.”
Is it really an illusion if that’s watt you truly see?
Then in Post#45, Djozz sez……
“This is however BS. Please note that we created data/science/standards because it is the best description of reality that we have, while usually the “real world experience” is a mess: highly subjective, variable per person, in time, per situation, and useless for basing decisions on.”
So are you saying that emotions (inherently subjective) are useless for basing decisions on?
If so, then you must not be human.
Then to expand it further……
As you say “variable per person”. Butt watt you also should’ve said in order to be scientifically honest is, “variable per flashlight”. Since each flashlight varies, again, subjectivity must come into play.
Subjectivity is adjusted by consensus. The more that evaluate the more believable subjectivity becomes. Or perhaps better said, averages is a wonderful useful concept.
PS. I can see where “True” is giving some of you heartburn.
It isn’t “True” in the scientific sense. It IS “True” however in the subjective sense.
