Shouldn't we instead try to discover why some people don't see a difference while others do?

To my eyes, an LCD screen doesn't appear solid. The text does but the white background doesn't. It's hard to describe. It's sort of like the text is floating in front of a light. E-ink does appear solid as long as there is some ambient light. The only time e-ink doesn't appear solid to me is if I use it in a dark room with the ereader's light on.
I tried showing this to a family member who happily reads on LCD - I held my e-ink device next to her tablet but she didn't see a difference.
