I disagree. That was an example of people making different assumptions and being very stubborn. This is actually hitting deep flaws in audio processing and it's exceptionally difficult to see/hear the alternative. You can't just say "oh, the lighting seems like X but might be Y", it can be impossible to hear the sounds that make up the other version.

Sorry, but the people who see white/gold aren't just being "stubborn". It is difficult for them to see the alternative.

You're reading bias that isn't there. Both were equally stubborn!

Obviously, yes, since the phenomena is called the new "dress".
