  1. On the subject of no colours without names... Teal didn't exist for me until Windows '95 gave it a name. Please do an episode about the common misconception about subtractive colours. I once "got into trouble" with an art teacher over the idea that painters and educators perpetuate this misinformation that the subtractive primaries are Red, Yellow and Blue. The diatribe I received was on a par with telling a 19th century Baptist that Darwin's theories are probably true, or a conspiracy theorist that "the huge, evil, terrible, 'them'" doesn't actually exist, or telling Einstein that on a sub-atomic level it's impossible to predict a particle's location and velocity.
