Let's see what I can remember here - oh, yeah, Wikipedia helps some. "Red" corresponds to wavelengths from 630 to 740 nm or so, "blue" to 440 to 490. "green" to 520 - 570. That leaves a pretty big zone of slop for drawing straight lines.
​
And like Dr A says, magenta doesn't have a wavelength. It's white light with the green removed.
​
I'm not stumped at all, except at how this argument is even held to be interesting by its proponents.

Re: A Thought
Don't you remove green to get magenta? Does the wavelength of the green that you remove correspond to the wavelength he's using for magenta?
​
Yes, pretty close to that.

Re: Shore interview in Jeruslaem Post
If the unit of time is different so is the frequency.
​
And that doesn't matter at all - there could be a linear correlation if the frequency was in cycles per century. The points here are 1) nothing close to a linear correlation has been shown between word-numbers and frequencies and 2) the Hebrews 2500 years ago knew NOTHING about light having frequency or wavelength, or even dual nature as waves and particles.

Hell, they didn't even have VHS tapes for their televisions, which they also didn't have!

Re: SkepticWiki
one could suggest that if you stare at a good solid green long enough, then at a white surface, the white will appear tinted . . . to magenta.
