I've always thought this was a weird choice in translation. A witch in the woods gets translated into a monster in a closet?

Also I think the witch is a better nickname than the boogeyman.

Sometimes, but its loud and the break in is obvious and it won't always work. Its possible to design a lock such that forcing the core to spin will not engage the mechanism that unlocks the door.

People can also kick in a door. But if its loud and obvious a person feels more likely to be caught, and is less likely to attempt it in the first place.

I do not remember that comment, I should stop redditing before bed.

I feel describing cones by the colors they pick up makes it easier for people to understand. Not sure what was going through my head when I said rods though, I referred to them correctly earlier in the comment.

I would actually like to see monochromatic violet next to red and blue to see if there's an actual difference. Its not exactly possible to imitate this experiment with a screen.

Fun fact, its only due to a weird quirk of biology, an imperfection, that red and blue make purple. Were it not for this we would have a completely different color wheel.

The cone that picks up red also picks up just a bit of violet. So if something triggers both our red and blue rods, it must be purple. Our eyes cannot tell the difference between a single wavelength triggering red and blue and 2 wavelengths triggering red and blue, it sends the same purple signal to our brain either way.
