This is really splitting hairs, but even our eyes are interpretation of reality.

The camera sensor does not record the wavelengths of lights it is capturing, only RGB values. We can only reproduce the picture in a way that is convincing to our eyes, not what light what original being captured.

Yes, but still, as another poster put it, it's the difference of changing the lighting versus changing the texture pack...
