Right tetrachromacy is proven and I've learned the hard way never to argue with women who insist there are shades of color that I cannot see. Moreover, these women make excellent color graders (in film work, etc.) as their output is more consistent.
My comment was made in the general sense from a modeling perspective. The trouble is - as you've implied - things get very complex once one scratches the surface especially so with seeing and perception as one's interpretation is also subjective and we don't have an adequate language to describe what we see. That's why calibration and measurement are so important.
These difficulties also likely account for why there's been a 91-year delay between the '31 CIE work and this discovery.
Incidentally, I've just noticed that Adrian_b makes the point that the "non-Riemannian nature of perceptual color space" has been known for decades. In hindsight, I should have strengthened my earlier comment about the evidence behind this new work having been known about for some considerable time.
