First off, you're talking to a anti-mentalist here. I don't think
internal mental phenomena exist.
But second, and more relevantly, I assumed that the poster was referring
to the myth that a bull would have an especially different response to
RED, as opposed to brown or green or mauve. This happens to be wrong even
under the beliefs of most dualists.
