Tetrachromacy makes sense in this case, as the blotches intensify in low light. Funny that the article mentions the need to test individuals and confirm the percentage of tetrachromats - Amazon could just donate their defective Paperwhites to Research - one look and you'd know if you have it or not
This subject is getting more and more intriguing!!
