Kind of like our music system isn't actually harmonic, we've just learned to accept the small error (distributed evenly across notes, called equal temperament). But you try telling the masses they're actually listening to garbage, or getting musicians into just intonation and mathematically pure harmonics. It's impractical.
Similarly I fail to see the success in debating how truly cyan this or that tech can produce. It doesn't seem to invalidate my point of RGB being an old "invention" (of evolutionary process).
#00ffff is cyan. The fact that almost all devices fail to reproduce that color exactly is an implementation detail.
Fun trick, you can oversaturate your receptors by intensely staring at max red for a while, then close your eyes, and my understanding is that this perceptual illusion lets one briefly observe pure cyan.
