<P>Not at all. The engineering of the eye has the same constraints as any
<BR>
engineering humans do. The eye uses three sensor channels. If we do the same in
<BR>
imaging systems, we can fool the eye into thinking an image is a reasonably
<BR>
accurate representation of the original. There is no luck involved. To an
<BR>
animal with different colour sensing our TV pictures probably look very odd. I
<BR>
wonder what a dog thinks of a TV's colour fidelity?
