    It may be inherently flawed, but we can’t just arbitrarily emit wavelengths of light with current technology. Realistically I doubt we ever could, we would need to alter the emission energies of materials on the fly, which would be akin to actual magic. It is frankly amazing it works as well as it does notwithstanding.

      I don’t think that’s what they mean. Because our cones send a signal for only 3 colors of light with overlap. We detect 3 and our brain interpolates the rest.
