Remember when Windows kept crashing, with the Blue Screen of Death? Suppose I have the theory that the computer works by way of colors interacting on the screen. You have the theory that there is an underlying CPU that does all the stuff, and that what we see on the computer screen is just a representation of part of what is really going on. But I argue back: if this is true, then why does a specific shade of blue kill the computer?
