Reply to comment by Liqu1dSnake in TIL that it is a common misconception that the reflection of the sky is the sole reason bodies of water appear blue. It is primarily because water absorbs colours in the red part of the light spectrum. by monkey-tennis

My comment is referring exactly to the what the title and article explains, that people think 'the sole or predominant reason that water is blue is due to the sky'. My example would defeat that notion as the water still appears plenty blue while the sky is white.

I suggest you look at a dictionary and see what "this" means.
